It is often used as shorthand for youth participation in many forms, including decision-making, sports, schools and any activity where young people are not historically engaged. There are various models of youth participation which can be followed when attempting to get young people involved with decision making or acting for change. Youth empowerment is a process where children and young people are encouraged to take charge of their lives. They do this by addressing their situation and then take action in order to improve their access to resources and transform their consciousness through their beliefs, values, and attitudes."
