Youth across the U.S. are asking for a voice as key decisions affecting them are made. Based on their life experiences, they often have original and promising ideas. Kids Impact and UNICEF USA with young people designed a Toolkit that helps youth analyze policies and programs and communicate actionable recommendations to decision-makers. The Toolkit has been piloted with UNICEF clubs nationwide and is ready for youth councils and after-school youth programs to use.
