Youth voice has been a focal point in numerous discussions in recent months. Afterschool for Children and Teens Now (ACT Now) and the Michigan After School Partnership (MASP) have recently initiated youth afterschool ambassador programs aimed at amplifying youth voices within their networks. This dialogue will delve into the process undertaken by the Illinois and Michigan networks to establish these programs, or experiences thus far, and the insights we have gained along the way. We eagerly anticipate sharing our endeavors and extending support to other networks, while also learning how others have involved young people in their initiatives!
