Moving Up the Ladder of Youth Engagement

Young people can be powerful contributors to society, but too often adults don’t seek or hear their voices. Youth voice is not about letting youth help us with our work, our issues, and our problems.  It is about working together as partners, collaborators, and allies to solve problems together.  Join us as we explore the core ingredients of authentic youth engagement and discuss ways for you to be successful in working with young people.


About our presenter: Our presenter is Lauren Traister, UVM Extension 4-H Teen & Leadership Program Coordinator.  Lauren runs a variety of programs to develop life and leadership skills in young people.  She has 11 years of experience with experiential learning, life skill development, leadership training and youth engagement.

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
