Steps to Youth Empowerment

By Dr. Dee Carter, Youth Advocate & Life Coach

The model for empowering youth is fairly simple.  It is being used by organizations around the world and if adopted by individuals we, as a society, would be able to improve the social progress and economic growth of young people.

 Steps for youth empowerment:

• Promote positive mental health and well being
• Provide a safe and trusting environment
• Encourage and strengthen youth leadership within the school environment
• Create partnerships with businesses, local groups & churches that will provide mentorships, internships and business opportunities

If you know of organizations in your area that are doing a great job empowering our youth and the disenfranchised, please post a comment and share this information in order to support the efforts of these groups.
