This interactive workshop proposes Roger Hart's Ladder of Participation as an evaluation and planning tool for youth workers and educators. The Ladder of Participation details levels of youth involvement in classrooms and youth programs, from the lowest level of Manipulation to the highest level of Youth Initiated Shared Decisions with Adults. Participants in this workshop will use Hart’s Ladder to assess the role of youth voice in their current programs and classrooms. All participants will leave with a copy of the Hart’s Ladder tool, as well as tangible action steps towards creating more meaningful youth adult partnerships in their work.
