Ep. 5: Involving young people through creating structures

Listen on

Episode notes

One of the ways that youth organisations work in a more consistent way with young people is to create structures for engagement and/or sharing power. In this episode, we will hear from four organisations that have created different kinds of structures to enable them to involve young people more actively in their work. 


We spoke to:


  • Cecilia Cappel, Participation and Engagement Manager at Spark Inside
  • Kerry Hunter, NNDYC Co-ordinator and Neurodiversity Specialist and Teacher who supported the National Neurodiverse Youth Council 
  • Italia Jenson (or Talie), Head of Youth Engagement at The Mix
  • Eugene Hilton, Community and Content manager at We Don't Settle
