Youth In Focus
Youth In Focus seeks two Co-Directors
The guiding vision of Youth In Focus is of a world in which youth and adults share knowledge and power to create a more just, sustainable, and democratic society. Since 1990 YIF has pursued this vision by providing training, consulting and coaching support in youth-led action research (Youth-REP) to underrepresented youth and adult allies working for positive change. Youth-led action research brings young people's energy and information to bear upon social and organizational challenges. Young people play lead roles in designing, doing, and following up on research or evaluation projects that serve to change or initiate a program, organization, community initiative, organizing campaign, or policy that affects them and their peers.
Our mission is to educate underrepresented youth and adult partners in youth-led action research, evaluation and planning to create the conditions for social justice.
What adult allies are saying:
"As promoters of youth and community participation, Youth In Focus brings a variety of unique and much needed evaluation tools to non-profit, government and private institutions. Their unique approach to engage youth in organizational practices has provided Leadership Excellence valuable insight into evaluating our youth development outcomes and our community impact."
Shawn Ginwright, Ph.D., Professor, Santa Clara University and Co-founder of Leadership Excellence.
What youth are saying:
"I showed up and it was the greatest thing I ever did"
