Plan • 10 key points for a successful youth network • What works? • What doesn’t work?
Purpose Why are you setting up a youth network? What do you want it to achieve? Who are your members?
Ownership The network has to belong to the young people! They must have power to make decisions
Control Young people must have control over the work of the Youth Network! What do they want to focus on? How can they help make it happen? How can you support them?
Connect and Belong Get involvedStay Involved
Structures which support engagement Eg. Task groups
Capacity Building Opportunities Young people need support to develop their skills
Celebrating Promote the successes of young people!
Patience Building a network takes time! Don’t be disheartened if things don’t happen quickly
What works • Task groups • Study sessions • Board
What doesn’t work • No planning or budget • Tokenism • Rigidity
