Youth Advocacy & Power Building: A Toolkit to Build Solutions by Youth, for Youth, and that Inspire Youth

Young people under the age of 23 constitute nearly a third of the U.S. population, yet their immense power as agents of societal change is often overlooked. Historically, youth have been pivotal in driving significant changes in our country, yet are often sidelined by adults and institutions, being labeled as “leaders of tomorrow” rather than impactful change-makers of today. 

At Community Catalyst, we believe that in order to build a stronger and more united movement for health justice, there must be space for youth leadership. That’s especially true when it comes to the work of building a behavioral health system that is accessible to all. Young people with lived experiences of mental health and substance use challenges should be shaping the future of these services, since they understand what’s not working in the current system and what needs to change.

About this Toolkit

In this toolkit, you will find resources that will help you engage youth in health justice advocacy. To ensure that young people have a voice in shaping the policy changes we fight for, Community Catalyst currently partners with a Youth Advisory Board, whose members are youth between the ages of 16 and 23, as well as Youth Policy Consultants. The Youth Advisory Board and Youth Policy Consultants created the following toolkit to encourage and educate youth and adults alike on how to engage young people in advocacy.

By involving youth in the process, advocates not only develop more efficient answers but get youth involved and doing the work! Including young people ensures that solutions are by youth, for youth, and inspire youth.

Community Catalyst’s partnership with the Youth Advisory Board is one example of our organization’s larger commitment to unleashing the power of community-first public health. No matter who or what age you are or where you live, the “public” should be at the center of public health.

Youth Power Building and Organizing in the Health Justice Movement  

Youth power building and organizing are essential components of the health justice movement and enable young people to actively contribute to sustainable change, confront systemic health disparities, and advocate for equitable access to healthcare.  

At Community Catalyst’s 2023 Annual Convening , we joyfully welcomed Youth Policy Consultants to lead a workshop focused on empowering and mobilizing young individuals and their allies within the health justice movement. By delving into the significance of youth power building and organizing, this workshop provides first-hand experiences, practical strategies, and tools for centering youth voice in power building and advocacy efforts.

Hear the Voices of Youth & Share Your Story

One of the best ways to relay to others the need for policy and systems changes is to share the personal stories and perspectives of those most impacted by health care disparities. At the core of youth power building is helping youth find their voice and giving them an outlet to use it.  

Here are some video reflections from members of Community Catalyst’s Youth Advisory Board and Youth Policy Consultants about what it means for adults to support young people and their mental health.

Policy Recommendations from Youth Advocates  

The issues of substance use disorder and mental health are at the core of the Community Catalyst Youth Advisory Boards’ and Youth Policy Consultants’ work. These young people not only bring their own lived experience to their advocacy, but also take time to review additional materials to educate themselves and their peers on trends and needs currently facing young people. Here are additional reading materials, compiled as helpful information.

• A Building Positive Models of School Discipline and Student Support that Includes Substance Use Services: A Resource Library
• Addressing Our Nation’s Crisis of Youth Mental Illness and Substance Misuse
• Expanding and Improving School-Based Mental Health and Substance Use Services
• We Need Action on Youth Mental Health and Substance Use
• Back to School: Substance Use Prevention Services are Key to Student Success  

Substance Use Disorders

Substance use disorder affects millions of people in the US. Yet, only a fraction of people receive the treatment and support services they need to live healthier lives. As a result of racism and other forms of discrimination, this is especially true for Black, Brown LGBTQ+ and other systemically-excluded communities. As part of our health justice work, Community Catalyst is creating durable, cross-movement connections between advocates for health care, criminal justice, harm reduction, mental health, and substance use disorders.

Substance Use Disorders & Justice-Involved Populations

Substance use disorders are a health issue, not a criminal issue. Community Catalyst’s Substance Use Disorders and Justice-Involved Populations program works to change this. Drawing on insights from people with lived experience of substance use disorders and working side-by-side with state and community-based organizations and alliances, we are building community power that reorients society’s misguided approach to alcohol and drug use through policies and practices that center race equity and justice and ensure everyone gets the services they need to live healthier lives.

New Guidance Encourages States to Better Address Children and Youth’s Access to Mental and Behavioral Health Services

Recently, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration released a joint informational bulletin, Guidance to States and School Systems on Addressing Mental Health and Substance Use Issues in Schools. This informational bulletin is an important step toward ensuring more children and youth are able to access needed care and is particularly timely given the concerning prevalence of mental health and substance use problems among young people.

Bipartisan Safer Communities Act Mental Health Teach-In Toolkit

In collaboration with the Partnership for Southern Equity YES! for Equity program, this toolkit offers information on how to organize a teach-in for educating and awakening Americans to the urgency of the mental health crisis. Teach-ins are an important tactic for personally engaging people, and building an effective, responsive movement. YES! for Equity is a national training and movement-building force built on the belief that racial equity and intergenerational power-sharing are essential to creating community change. YES! for Equity believes that the collective power of youth and adult allies to achieve the change we seek in the world depends on recognizing the history of structural racism that exists in the United States.

The Power of Young People to Change the World

Share this post.

This is one question young people ask me these days. Young people want to change the world, they are usually aware of relevant issues that affect them and the world, but they wonder how to go about them.

Young people are fearless, brave, impetuous, dynamic and self-confident. Young people have the ideas, the creativity and great energy to shape a better world. Young people are full of hope and through innovation and imagination, they are problem solvers and have a great potential to generate a positive social change in the world.

Young people are in a continuous search for the transcendence that generates the desire of helping the environment, countries, communities and families. With globalization and technology the world has even become smaller, with unlimited possibilities of connection, there is a unique chance for young people to unite in solidarity and empathize on real friendship.

To celebrate youth and all of its characteristics, in 1985, United Nations declared the first “International Year of Youth”. This same year, young people from around the world united in Rome. During that gathering, convened by Pope Jonh Paul II, the institution of the World Youth Day was announced as a week-long international event, every two or three years. Since then, some of the countries where the World Youth Day has been held include Italy, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Spain. This year, the World Youth Day will be held in the amazing and lively city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

From  July 17 th  to  28 th , 2013, the World Youth Alliance will be present at the  World Youth Day  in  Rio de Janeiro, Brazil , promoting human dignity, sharing in friendship and solidarity with the world’s youth and celebrating this great power young people have to change the world.

Young WYA members from around the globe will gather in Rio de Janeiro to encourage fellow WYD pilgrims to join WYA in the promotion of human dignity and recognize The Power of Young People to Change the World. These young Dignity Ambassadors will participate in fun games and activities with other young people from all over the world and will join discussions on life and family, and share in solidarity with one another.

The Power of Young People as Changemakers

Dec 11, 2018

By Mercia Takavarasha, Senior Programmes Officer and Pioneer Facilitator at Generations For Peace

“The power of youth is the common wealth for the entire world. The faces of young people are the faces of our past, our present and our future. No segment in the society can match with the power, idealism, enthusiasm, and courage of the young people.” – Kailash Satyarthi

The headmaster at the first high school I taught at believed youth have rich perspectives and must be heard and heeded, and that teachers must listen, learn from them, and provide guidance. The motto was, ‘Forget tomorrow, let the young lead today!’

The school gave prefects, club committees, and sports captains the opportunities and freedom to exercise their duties with virtually no interference from the teachers, who would provide guidance and mentorship, only stepping in with solutions when requested or when absolutely necessary. As someone new to the teaching field, the idea of giving so much power to student leaders was foreign to me: I was concerned they were too young to take on that responsibility.

What an error – the younger ones cleared my doubt: they were instrumental in building a school culture envied across the province. Since then, I still believe and am confident that youth are not merely participants but changemakers that hold the key to building peace for current and future generations.

I had the golden opportunity of working with resourceful, convergent thinkers, dependable prime movers and backers of school activities, innovative and driven model leaders. Some may say that youth leadership at the school-level is possible and expected, but when it comes to leading in socio-economic and political development, youth are too young to take that leap.

Youth and power have always been a difficult relationship. According to a recent Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) report , the leadership of younger people – though still low in official positions – is rising: 1.9% of the world’s Members of Parliament (MPs) are aged under 30 (up from 1.6% in 2014). Furthermore, 14.2% of the world’s MPs are aged under 40 (up from 12.9% in 2014).

Given these statistics, it is not surprising that I have repeatedly heard youth ask themselves, “What is this power we have? How can we experience ‘ execution of youth power ?’” While we are seeing younger leaders with political and economic titles, it would be a mistake to think that this is the only level at which they can wield influence and initiate needed change. Bringing about change does not require a badge or a title. Youth leave footprints of change in their communities.

The world has long associated youth with risk-taking and recklessness. They have been lumped into the created and accepted stereotypes of an inherently bad generation – troubled and troublesome with the news awash with negative portrayal.

Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” Young people are neither problems to be solved nor merely just part of the solution: as changemakers, they can influence outcomes and achieve real change! All we have to do is encourage and mentor them, then give them the space to do it.

A range of UN resolutions recognise this need to view youth as changemakers. Unanimously adopting Resolution 2419 (2018), the UN Security Council called on all relevant actors to consider ways to increase the representation of young people when negotiating and implementing peace agreements, recognising that their marginalisation is detrimental to building sustainable peace and countering violent extremism. Meanwhile, UNSCR 2250  (which was passed three years ago yesterday) recognises not only that “today’s generation of youth is the largest the world has ever known,” but also that “youth should actively be engaged in shaping lasting peace and contributing to justice and reconciliation, and that a large youth population presents a distinctive demographic bonus contributing to lasting peace and economic prosperity if inclusive policies are in place.”

Over the past eleven years, Generations For Peace has demonstrated the power of youth by engaging thousands of young people in communities around the globe. Changing the world does not start with the world, but with individuals!

As a GFP Pioneer Facilitator, we train young people, encouraging and mentoring them to build the world they want to live in. My facilitation assignments brought me closer to this young generation, and I realised the enormous contributions they have made in the challenging and changing social, cultural, and political landscape.

The youth I have interacted with during trainings exhibit the passion and drive to bring about the change they desire. In Kaduna, Nigeria, I was captivated by the young volunteer leaders selected to lead the GFP “ Youth Advocacy to Prevent Violent Movements in Northern Nigeria ” Programme supported by Robert Bosch Stiftung. These young people are capable of identifying what is wrong in their communities and leading the change they need because they have creative minds focused more on the present and moving forward, whereas older generations have often come to accept societal ills and anomalies as norms.

These thirty ethnically diverse youth were passionate about and committed to commencing their small actions to achieve a giant step toward change within Kaduna State. And they did this with astounding success ! As they say, “Be the change that you want to see.”

My philosophy is that everyone has strengths, passions, capacities, and abilities, meaning the focus should never be on what is wrong with youth, but instead on how to use their relatively untapped reservoir of possibility, creativity, invention, and endless reams of energy to change the world.

My experience as a teacher taught me that if you expect the worst from young people, you will get just that. My experience as a GFP Pioneer Facilitator has enabled me experience first-hand how diverse groups of youth from conflict divides take responsibility for the change they want in their communities and put in the effort needed to achieve that change. Though it takes time, patience, and grit, youth are proving that they are up to the task in playing their part to build more peaceful communities and societies.

The insight displayed, the enthusiasm harnessed, and creativity invested by these youth leaders as they identify issues of conflict, collectively agreeing on the kind of interventions they would like to carry out and the communities they want to engage, gives me hope that the world can be better if we recognise, equip, and mentor youth for the journey toward peace they decide to embark on.

Youth-led Initiatives: What can be done to Harness the Power of Youth?

Key messages >>>

• Youth-led initiatives may not be revolutionary models that would immediately lead to a paradigm shift, but they can lead to a positive ripple effect for changing attitudes and behavior.
• The world has reached a stage where the global problem of climate change simply cannot be contained without a global approach, youth included. Young people are going to be the most affected by global environment issues.
• Transformative changes are only possible through curriculum design and technology use to better engage with youth on decision-making and for designing environmental solutions.
• Policy makers can better engage with youth through initiatives such as youth parliaments. Social media can be used to better engage with youth on public policy and political issues.
• Businesses can mentor youth and also provide support through corporate social responsibility initiatives. Artificial intelligence can help to match young entrepreneurs with business mentors.

Personal experience and ‘Project Nishtha’

The youth of today are one of the most critical stakeholders in the creation of a sustainable world. We are surrounded by ever-growing environmental issues and the immediacy of action required cannot be emphasized enough. I am writing this discussion paper as a sixteen years old global citizen who wants to make a difference but has been put down and told that policy makers and the government are the people who have the ‘real power’. But the truth is the world has reached a stage where the global problem of climate change simply cannot be contained without a global approach, youth included.

Everyone needs to come to the realisation that excusing yourself from taking a portion of the blame will not solve anything; we all need to take steps, whether big or small. Two years ago, I came to this realisation and founded ‘Project Nishtha’, an environmental initiative that aims to convert organic floral waste from temples to compost manure for nurturing plants. This was not going to be a revolutionary model that would immediately lead to a paradigm shift; but it was a step that had a positive ripple effect in changing the individual choices of priests and religious institutions across Delhi.

As a part of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative of Angelique International Limited, I installed a composting machine with a capacity of 100 kilograms at the Jagannath Mandir in Hauz Khas, New Delhi and employed a rider who would collect flowers thrice a week from ten temples and take them for composting. After the flowers are composted, the manure is used in gardens around the temples, creating a circular flow of resources. I was determined to not only make temples adopt this model but also to educate stakeholders on more sustainable practices for which I held interactive discussions about the immense impact of organic waste has on river Yamuna. As a result, priests have started to become more interested and saw the benefits of upcycling flowers. I will now analyse the importance of youth-led initiatives, the possibilities of projects that youth can be involved in, and lastly, the ways in which policy makers can support these environmental initiatives.

Project Nishtha involved converting organic waste from temples to manure

Why are youth-led initiatives important?

Youth-led initiatives have the power to create a significant change in our society in many ways. Four reasons are discussed.

Firstly, youth are essential stakeholders on crucial issues around environmental action for a more informed future generation. Youth of the world are going to be disproportionately affected by a deteriorating environment caused by previous generations, and preparing them to respond to these environmental challenges is pivotal now more than ever.

Secondly, the sheer impact that youth can have in the world is significant to creating a more sustainable world. Many countries and regions around the world have a significant proportion of young people. India has about 248 million people in the age group of 15–24 years. Ten of the world’s youngest countries are in Africa which has a large proportion of youth. Globally, more and more young people are coming forward to influence decision-making processes by expressing their discontent with the existing policies and mechanisms.  The scale of impact that it would have, if society encouraged even a quarter of them to take the path of global citizenship, is colossal.

Thirdly, it is becoming more and more self-evident that the youth are becoming motivated to take on a more active role in environmental activism. Their fresh new perspectives and courage to work for a better future is something you can find in no other segment of society, making them unique vehicles of change. The social media, an important tool uniquely suited to the upcoming generation, is beginning to be used effectively in the mass dispersal of information, making the youth a key stakeholder in mitigating environmental issues.

Finally, engaging young people in government and policy initiatives can help foster active citizenship for the world’s common future. This can contribute to social wellbeing at an individual level, by building self-esteem and a sense of empowerment, and bring about important benefits for societies such as an increased awareness of common challenges and a joint commitment to identify solutions that work in the long run. Social movements such as Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion establish the fact that the youth play a key role in participating in environmental issues and leading environmental movements. However, a major gap in society remains as youth are not involved or not allowed to be involved in policy making and discussions to the extent that they should be. Young people should be actively involved in decision making so that their concerns are considered by governments and business leaders. Greater youth involvement will result in an overall increase in trust between the youth and the government. Since the youth represents an important share of electoral voters and workers of the future, their active engagement in society is pivotal.

How can environmental education be tailored for youth?

Transformation is only possible with a change in mind-sets involving youth and the society; tackling the problem of lack of environmental education needs to be urgently addressed. This will require a structural change involving curriculum design as is envisaged in the sustainable development goals. Schools should include local environmental issues in curriculums which would create interest in students to take action on problems directly affecting their community. As per the International Environmental Education Programme of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and United Nations Environmental Programme, “if we want to develop a large number of learners who are skilled and dedicated environmental citizens, the learners must feel a sense of ownership towards issues needing resolution and a sense of empowerment with respect to helping with that resolution”.Therefore, to instil a sense of empowerment and ownership, the discussion of local issues directly affecting the students is essential.

Furthermore, more resources should be devoted to creating and integrating environmental education into school curriculum by presenting modules about the environment to students. These modules can be made by specific volunteers from non-governmental organizations and other environmental organisations for the youth. This would raise the awareness of the children about the environment and this knowledge can be tested through assignments too. In order to create more interest in the field of sustainability and the environment, more incentives should be given to students in the form of awards to students who have displayed exemplary work in the field of environmental protection. Environmental education modules should be interactive and inquiry based, focussing on the concept of sustainable development . Teachers can also begin by explicitly stating the link between the topic in the mandated syllabus and sustainability. Schools should also integrate into their curriculum engaging extracurricular activities such as ‘plant a sapling’ drives, bake sales to raise money for environmental organizations, as well as peer-tutoring programs where senior students educate their juniors about the environment.

The government should specifically work in inculcating the mentioned programs in government schools in order to bridge the gap between private and public school environmental education. Local bodies are very instrumental in this regard. These models can be seen to be successfully in practice in South Delhi Municipal CorporationBhim Nagri Primary School in New Delhi . Here students are made to learn about organic farming in a farm within the school premises; teachers integrate math multiplication tables with sowing seeds, which goes a long way in creating students with a genuine passion and love for the environment.

Forming youth groups and clubs have massive potential to increase youth involvement in environmental issues. These could be in schools, colleges or in neighbourhoods which provide a platform for children to come together and discuss solutions or environmental concerns or simply share innovative ideas. There are numerous opportunities for the youth to get involved in environmental discussions and action. The ideas discussed here indicate that engaging youth in environmental issues will take not only an increase in the will of the youth to step up and take action, but also the rest of society who will need to support the upcoming generation of environmentalists in order to have an observable impact.

How can technology be used for youth engagement?

Governments of countries should carry out surveys of youth groups and use technological linkages to engage with their work and thus, bridge the gap between the youth and the government. The link between increasing youth involvement and the use of social media is something that needs to be explored. However, technology is currently not being used to its fullest potential; only 40 per cent of young Europeans interact online with the public administration while only 18 per cent use social media to engage in civic and political life.

Digital participation is effective in reaching a wide range of people easily and it is not a strain to government budgets. More and more collaborative projects should be launched on these digital platforms through which youth skills can be honed and the young can feel more involved with the policy making aspect of environmental issues. For instance, in Africa, the Text to ChangeProject launched the Voice Africa’s Future initiative, which engages young people from Africa, asking them what they think the future of their own countries should look like. Canada too has launched an online platform to encourage involvement; it makes use of hashtags to identify content pertaining to the organisation.

More stories of youth using technology to solve societal issues should be disseminated. For instance, RecLeb: Recycle the Smart Way was developed by a student to help residents of Lebanon classify their solid waste. Stories like these are inspiring and innovative, and if more student projects like these are supported by the government and businesses, the youth would feel more empowered and encouraged to take on more projects.

What role can governments and international organizations play?

Policy makers are central for supporting youth-led environmental initiatives. Youth involvement in policy making can be increased through organising conferences that act as a platform for the youth to express their ideas and suggestions for future policies. This can be done at the local, national and international levels. Local governments should involve students in creating action plans for mitigating local environmental issues.

The formation of youth parliaments and youth advisory boards for government activities where the young can get together and ideate will increase awareness among children by initiating regular dialogue and discussion. In Iceland, for instance, young people were involved in the Constitution Project which seeks to take into account youth’s views and opinions during constitutional amendment processes. Youth were educated about human rights, democracy, and the legislative and executive branches of the constitution, following which they discussed policies and ideas, and finally delivered a report to the Chairman of the Constitutional Council.  This kind of youth involvement in the political process is essential to creating an educated future generation.

National bodies for the youth that discuss sustainable development goals can also create and engage with a network of motivated youth.  For instance in Canada , the Prime Minister’s Youth Council, a group of young people, aged 16–24 years, provide non-partisan advice to the Prime Minister and the Government of Canada on issues of importance. Additionally, particularly in cases where the government is implementing policies pertaining to the youth, such as policies on school curriculum changes, such youth councils can be effective by involving the stakeholders.

Virtual conferences organised by institutions such as UNICEF’s ‘Voices of the Youth’ should be extended to reach more and more students from across the globe. Virtual Model United Nations (MUN) can provide students with a basic understanding of the procedures of various organs of the United Nations, committee meetings, drafting resolutions, duties and responsibilities of various bodies of the United Nations, negotiation processes, informal meetings, and process of arriving at a consensus. In addition to MUNs, bodies of the United Nations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change should also hold programs for youth awareness and solicit white papers to seek their inputs in policy making.

What role can businesses play?

In addition to schools, local businesses can also take steps to increase youth involvement in initiatives. Businesses can offer internship opportunities for students who can help them in reducing the ecological impact of production; in turn, students would gain a deeper understanding of the balance between the economy and the environment. They can also involve students with creative ideas to solve environmental problems in CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiatives. Businesses can organise competitions for students to pitch these ideas, and the most impactful ideas can receive funding.

Businesses can also channel their CSR funding towards increasing educational opportunities amongst the youth. For example, in India, Tata Steel Limited has undertaken the ‘1000 Schools’ project wherein 40,000 children have been helped to overcome their learning deficiency and about 1.5 lakh students were benefitted. Non-governmental organizations should take youth as volunteers to upscale their initiatives to have a larger impact on society.

Businesses can mentor youth for environmental solutions. For example, Accenture uses artificial intelligence (AI) to match young entrepreneurs with business mentors. Other examples can include virtual town halls involving discussions between businesses and youth on sustainability including the use of technologies such as AI to predict problems and deployment of solutions such as the use of renewable power.

Concluding discussion

It is evident that our world needs an increase in youth involvement in order to create a difference. A combination of policy changes as well as changes to school curriculums and the introduction of creative programs in businesses and non-governmental organizations to support youth-led initiatives will create ripple effects that will go a long way in solving problems in our society. It is the age for the youth to share responsibility for the global environmental challenges that affects everyone; there is a need to stand united and take combined actions. This paper highlights a few ways in which society can change and embolden the youth; however, the ways in which they can be empowered are endless. All it finally takes is a sense of trust—trust that the youth is capable of taking effective action and bringing about a positive change.

The Power of Youth

Written by merve aluçlu, aslıhan yesir, karthika pillai.

Illustration by Karthika Pillai

“When you are young, they assume you know nothing” is the lyrics from a popular song named, “Cardigan” by Taylor Swift that demonstrates how society perceives today’s young generation. However, a quotation by Jane Goodall (2015), states that “if young people are informed and empowered, when they realize that what they do truly makes a difference, can indeed change the world.” So, it can be claimed that young individuals have the power to change the world into a better place when they understand and use their potential. As advocates for substance use prevention from all around the world, we are certain that through our combined efforts, a snowball effect 1 can be procured to achieve the task of creating healthy and sound communities.

The United Nations define “Youth” as reflecting the age group of 15 to 24 years. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers adolescence between 10 and 19 years and the term “young people” refers to the composite age group 10-24 years. These definitions are based on a certain consensus about the factors (biological, social and cultural) that define youth worldwide. However, it should be noted that the notion of youth may vary considerably across countries due to the socio-economic-cultural context. The social and cultural entry into adult life may correspond to the economic autonomy of the person, the establishment of a family or the participation in a certain ritual. There are over 1.8 billion young people today out of which 90% reside in the global south taking up a large portion of their population. 2

One of the biggest dangers that directly threatens the well-being of today’s youth is the non-medical use of drugs and other substances. According to statistics 3 there was a steep rise in the global drug use pattern for people aged 15-64 between 2009 and 2018. The UNODC and WHO International Standards on Drug Use Prevention 4 emphasize the importance of focusing on youth. They are more sensitive towards its harmful effects due to risk factors such as dysfunctional familie, mental disorders, try-out of adult roles, and responsibilities, to name a few. The International Standards have identified scientific interventions with age-appropriate activities suitable for a particular developmental stage to be introduced at an early stage. Research shows that when youth have ongoing, caring relationships, they have access to guidance, support, help, and even improved psychosocial, behavioural, and academic outcomes [Thompson et. al., 2015].

Additionally, UNODC encourages a comprehensive approach that includes various evidence-based interventions and another supporting awareness raising. For example, the “listen first” 5 materials provide a safe space for children and youth to make them feel heard and valued and inculcate skills such as self-management, or patience by enhancing interpersonal relationships in families.

When asked about the significance of positive youth engagement, youth are recognized as a major resource for all development efforts. Their active involvement and leadership must fully and sustainably achieve global development goals (Handbook on Youth Participation in Drug and Prevention Work, 2020). Especially for preventing substance use, youth engagement can be presented as a protective factor; as peer relationships directly influence decision-making among individuals. Relatedly this takes us back to Goodall’s (2015) words, which stresses educating the youth and involving them in prevention activities to become the torchbearers of the future and spread awareness among their peers through positive influence.

Youth engagement creates a sense of belongingness, builds a common identity that inspires action, or brings like-minded people together to pursue a common cause. Rather than trying to achieve a goal as a single unit, it is better to strive towards it as a group, the impact is bigger.

Driven and passionate individuals together in a forum sharing varied experience, or working together as an organisation to bring a change in the community or using their resources to create a positive impact is what the world needs right now.

To further the goal of empowering young change-makers, an excellent example of a great work that we are proud to be a part of that embodies the power of youth in all aspects is the “Global Youth Forum- UNODC”. The Forum is an annual event organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime as an initiative in the broader context of the Narcotics Drugs Commission (CND) The event which enables young people to take an active role in drug prevention and health promotion activities in their communities through a shared platform for exchanging ideas and perspectives. As advocates for substance use prevention from all around the world, we are certain that through combined efforts a snowball effect can be procured to achieve the task of creating healthy and sound communities.

Due to the unprecedented pandemic circumstances, the Youth Forum 2021 was organised virtually but despite that saw the participation of 62 young representatives from 41 countries! The forum stands as an opportunity that showcases the concept of unity in diversity perfectly Even though each individual is unique in their approach, they all believe in the same values regarding the importance of prevention activities. The power of a global youth network gives out an important message that the strength of young people can overcome a myriad of challenges and together their voices are strong enough to be heard on any platform and leave a mark. As a matter of fact, the final CND Youth Statement created by the young individuals as a culmination of their combined effort in the forum carried this emotion perfectly as they addressed the policymakers in their speech, “Our voices are strong, and we must be heard in the present and remain impactful in the future.”

In conclusion, initiatives such as youth forums act as contributing factors towards educating young people in science-based substance use prevention activities as well as in enabling a global platform to create a reservoir of connections to be used as resources. When considering the power of acting together, it would be appropriate to include the following idiom: you cannot make a sound with your one hand, but you can surely clap with two of them; so let’s clap our hands for a better world!

1 The snowball effect describes when something grows in significance or size at an increasingly faster rate. The name comes from imagining a snowball rolling down a hill - it gets larger and larger with more snow and becomes faster and more powerful as it moves onward.

3 In 2018, an estimated 269 million people, or 5.4 per cent of the global population aged 15-64, had used drugs in the previous year. Over the period of 2009-2018, the estimated number of past-year users of any drug globally increased from 210 million to 269 million, this is an increase by more than 25 percent. Among the estimated 269 million people who used drugs in the past year, some 35.6 million are estimated to suffer from drug use disorders, meaning that their drug use is harmful, or they may experience drug dependence and/or require treatment. This corresponds to a global prevalence of drug use disorders of 0.7 per cent among the population aged 15–64

Youth and their Power

Presentations | English

The capacity of young people to directly affect and exercise authority over their own lives and surroundings is known as youth power. The youth's only responsibility is to maintain, renew, and replenish. Youth are expected to progress the nation's politics, peace, education, and technology. On the other side, young people must also uphold our culture, all societal virtues, and development initiatives, among other things. Only if children are given the necessary tools and information can they make a positive contribution to India's development. The government has a responsibility to give them many opportunity to advance both personally and professionally. Also must provide equal facilities in the field of games and sports.
