Councils, Committees, and YAGs (oh my!): On Formal Youth Leadership
AYAC is pleased to launch our youth leadership report: Councils, committees, and YAGs (oh my!): On formal youth leadership.
The report is structured around three research questions:
1. What is youth leadership?
2. What ‘works’ in youth leadership?
3. How might we best meet future youth leadership needs?
This report is primarily focused on formal youth leadership – think student representative councils, youth advisory groups, youth parliaments, and the like.
