1 How Can Youth Power Help Your Organization Implement Youth Peer Services? January 11, 2018 PRESENTERS: AZARIA WITTEKIND AND MICA GONZALEZ YOUTH POWER!
2 How Can YOUTH POWER! Help Your Organization Implement Youth Peer Services?
3 What is YOUTH POWER!? YOUTH POWER! is the New York State network of young people who have been labeled and are seeking change. Together, we have decided to speak up about our experiences because no one knows what it is like for us better than we do. Through peer to peer mentoring, we empower young people to be active citizens that are aware of government operations, their rights and the ability to use their voices to influence policies, practices, regulations and laws. We are young people helping other people, ensuring availability of self-help and peer support while changing systems so that young people get the support they need with the respect and dignity they deserve. NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US!
4 Working across systems and disabilities Mental Health Special Education Foster Care Juvenile Justice Addiction Developmental Disabilities Independent Living Special Health Care Youth Development
5 Promotes Youth Engagement on all levels of service Individual supports and services Community/county planning and oversight Regional Statewide Federal International
6 Goals of YOUTH POWER! 1: To expand and strengthen the YP! network while remaining youth run 2: To successfully advocate for systems change to ensure better opportunities for young people 3: To increase empowerment, skill building, leadership and advocacy opportunities for young people with disabilities and system specific labels 4: To improve quality of youth peer advocacy & involvement by offering technical assistance and training opportunities to young people and adult allies 5: To practice and promote cultural competency & diversity
7 Network Leadership = Young people with disabilities Guiding the work of YP! Recruiting and engaging members Leading the Working Groups Fundraising Advocacy for our Priority Agenda YP! Board
8 Creating an accessible, empowering network Ensuring accessibility Disability history & pride Youth-friendly is people friendly Importance of identity Sense of belonging
9 Priority Agenda Top advocacy issues for the year Gain input from young people through events, surveys, and direct outreach Action working group contributes to the development and advancement of the agenda Finalized by the YP! Board The agenda was brought to a meeting with President Obama. Began producing an advocacy agenda in 2008
10 YP! growth 2005 hired Statewide Youth Coordinator 2007 took name YOUTH POWER! and formed the Board 2008 received funding from the NYLN 2009 Juvenile justice prevention funds 2011 reached over ½ million annual budget 2017 reached a million annual budget from diverse sources
11 YOUTH POWER! Structure
12 YP! Brings Youth perspective If you had a problem in the black community, and you brought in a group of white people to discuss how to solve it, almost nobody would take that panel seriously. In fact, there d probably be a public outcry. It would be the same thing for women s issues or gay issues. But every day, in local arenas all the way to the White House, adults sit around and decide what problems youth have and what youth need, without ever consulting us. Jason, 17 years old, Youth Force Member Act for Youth: Profiles of Youth Engagement and Voice in New York State: Current Strategies, pg 3
