What is Youth participation in public policy at the local level: New lessons from Michigan municipalities: Youth Participation in Public Policy at the Local Level about?

What are some strategies for strengthening youth participation in public policy at the local level? Young people already participate in public policy. There are young people organizing around policy issues, adults involving them in the proceedings of public agencies, and youths and adults collaborating in intergenerational partnerships. There is evidence that initiatives are increasing and will continue in the future. The National League of Cities, for example, describes approaches to youth service, youth mapping, youth summits, and youth councils in American cities. We worked with Ramona Mullahey and Yve Susskind to offer brief examples of youth participation in community planning, including San Francisco, Seattle, and Salt Lake City. Along with Tanene Allison and Colleen Montoya, we documented the work of the San Francisco Youth Commission. Cindy Carlson and Carmen Sirianni documented the efforts of the Hampton Youth Commission. More recently, Shanetta Martin, Karen Pittman, Thaddeus Ferber, and Ada McMahon documented the work of youth councils and children's cabinets at the state government level.
