Our Approach
YOUTH DRIVEN SPACES
OUR YOUTH DRIVEN SPACES APPROACH
Historically, adults struggle to find effective strategies to support meaningful opportunities for youth to lead their own initiatives or learning. We have drawn on our more than 20 year experience to develop a “youth-driven” philosophy that rests on three core practices:
1) Tapping teens’ intrinsic motivation
2) Supporting teens’ developmental needs; and
3) Fostering genuine partnerships between adults and youth.
The N Zone podcast is now LIVE! This year, teens at the Neutral Zone launched the N Zone a new podcast for youth voice. Youth leaders Nick and Aiden Runchey worked to conceptualize, write, record, and release podcasts for three episodes
