OUR FOCUS TOWARDS YOUTH ENGAGEMENT

• Psychological capital – Hope, resilience, optimism, self-efficacy
• Removal of barriers for low participation groups through outreaching and trusting relationships – bridging and bonding.
• Ownership and empowerment – feeling valued
• Creation of agency – to act independently and morally. Able to reflect and react.
• Stronger relationships – family, friends, community, other groups.

• Challenging stereotypes and dispelling myths
• Integration - happier and feel part of the
  community.
• Social capital – greater networks, building
  opportunities, trust, reciprocity, a shared value
  system
• Human capital – skills, knowledge, experience and
  ​knowhow.
