Mariana Reyes spoke about the role of language in day-to-day interactions within an organization, describing how language affects the power dynamics between colleagues. Ms. Reyes explained how when language is overly technical or academic, it can be inaccessible and disincentivize smaller organizations from reaching out to larger groups for collaboration and resources. She further emphasized that the exclusive, \u201cindustry\u201d language used in organizational settings can often signal that these spaces exist for a smaller, educated elite\u2014keeping adolescents and youth from being empowered to participate. Ms. Reyes underlined the importance of inclusive language that is easily understood and not stigmatizing to the very groups it hopes to reach.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>[rs_blockquote cite=&#8221;Mariana Reyes&#8221;]Inclusive language towards youth opens up the conversation and amplifies our message; it gives a sense of belonging to everyone addressed and creates trust.[\/rs_blockquote]<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Ana Aguilera spoke about the ways language can convey intention. She described how language can illustrate where people are coming from in terms of background, understanding, and their organizational interests. Ms. Aguilera discussed how language is especially instrumental when attempting to clarify and demystify the \u201cfuzzy\u201d topic of adolescent and youth engagement with both internal and external colleagues. She provided the example of the <a href=\"http:\/\/youact.org\/2020\/11\/08\/the-flower-of-participation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flower of Youth Participation<\/a>, a framing technique that uses inclusive and youth-friendly language. This tool concisely describes what does and does not constitute meaningful youth engagement. At the same time, it provides organizations with flexibility and different ways to visualize what opportunities could look like for their specific target population.<\/p>\n<p>Michael McCabe spoke about the necessity of learning the language of the community that your organization is working in. In this, he referred not only to the spoken language, but also cultural sensitivity and awareness of how language functions in certain contexts. In terms of engaging youth, Mr. McCabe emphasized that organizations need to work on strengthening the inclusivity of voices at a local level, instead of solely prioritizing the voices of national governments or international NGOs. He also explained that organizations need to learn the language of youth and vice versa. He highlighted the importance of teaching youth and adolescents the technical terminology that would allow them to excel in navigating complex bureaucratic organizations like USAID. Mr. McCabe discussed how language must be tailored to be more specific, rather than acting simply as rhetoric. He underlined the need to learn the language of the groups that organizations are working with to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>[rs_blockquote cite=&#8221;Michael McCabe&#8221;]We shouldn\u2019t talk about youth as a homogenous group.

In regard to the value of reflection, she discussed some important aspects, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Questioning and challenging traditional methods and ideologies.<\/li>\n<li>Making efforts to engage in ongoing learning.<\/li>\n<li>Using insights to adapt organizational practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the value of respect, Ms. Aguilera emphasized that within organizations the viewpoints and lived experiences of young people need to be as important as those of individuals who are considered \u201cexperts\u201d in the field. She also spoke to the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledgesuccess.org\/2021\/11\/09\/positive-youth-development-young-people-as-assets-allies-and-agents\/\">inclusion, especially of young people<\/a> who might not typically be recruited to participate in youth-led organizations or initiatives. Ms. Aguilera described how she has often noticed that the same groups, regions, and individuals are present at the decision-making table at meetings. To remedy this, outreach is necessary to engage groups that aren\u2019t typically as well connected or easy to access.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>[rs_blockquote cite=&#8221;Ana Aguilera&#8221;]We believe that what young people have to say and contribute is valuable.[\/rs_blockquote]<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Ms. Reyes explained that it is important that an organization differentiate between their values and their interests. She also echoed Ms. Aguilera\u2019s point regarding the lack of diversity in groups that organizations often target for engagement. As a solution, Ms. Reyes mentioned the need for decentralization at both the country and international levels. She also emphasized the necessity of evaluating how different spaces and sectors can intersect within <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledgesuccess.org\/2020\/03\/09\/youth-engagement\/\">youth engagement work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>[rs_blockquote cite=&#8221;Mariana Reyes&#8221;]We need to not think of the youth perspective as something that should be shoved into a corner of our work, but as something that is present throughout all of our work.[\/rs_blockquote]<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>What sorts of tools\/instruments do you need to apply these youth-centered values in the work that your organization is doing?

He described the process of receiving feedback through listening sessions with young people and revising the policy so that it includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More accessible language.<\/li>\n<li>Empowers collaboration.<\/li>\n<li>Contains an accountability mechanism.<\/li>\n<li>Ultimately connects with young people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He also discussed several initiatives and tools that aim to expand USAID\u2019s scope of partnership and engagement. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youthpower.org\/resources\/youth-programming-assessment-tool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Youth Programming Assessment Tool (YPAT)<\/a>, developed by USAID, is available in several languages. It can be used by organizations to self-assess whether or not they are sufficiently promoting Positive Youth Development (PYD). PYD refers to a set of indicators surrounding the resilience of young people in terms of assets, agency, and access to civic or economic opportunities. Mr. McCabe also discussed the Global LEAD Initiative. It aims to support one million young global changemakers by focusing on skill-building and education as well as civic and political participation and leadership. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youthpower.org\/resources\/global-lead-toolkit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global LEAD Toolkit<\/a> allows organizations to examine how different programs have engaged youth in various sectors around the world. It provides information on how to mix and match interventions in a way that fits an organization\u2019s unique needs.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. McCabe also emphasized the importance of supporting youth innovation using collaborative learning and technology. He described how as a large and bureaucratic organization, it can be difficult for USAID to channel resources directly to youth-led organizations. To this end, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irex.org\/project\/youth-excel-our-knowledge-leading-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Youth Excel Initiative<\/a> was launched to support the implementation research of youth-led organizations. Additionally, USAID\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youthlead.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouthLead<\/a> program engaged 50 young leaders from around the world to develop an online platform for and by young people. Through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youthlead.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouthLead.org<\/a>, 14,000 young people host weekly webinars, create starter kits, and organize to take action on key issues in their communities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Many organizations are trying to improve how they work with young people. To do this, many have chosen to incorporate novel methods of youth engagement, such as human-centered design.

What would you say to organizations that have realized they aren\u2019t successfully engaging youth and are attempting unique strategies?<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 10px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"vc_message_box vc_message_box-standard vc_message_box-rounded vc_color-info vc_do_message\" ><div class=\"vc_message_box-icon\"><i class=\"fa fa-video-camera\"><\/i><\/div><p>Watch now: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I2jKqlSFL40&amp;t=3069s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">51:09<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Ms. Reyes spoke about the ways in which the pursuit of complex, novel strategies can cause organizations to overlook smaller, simpler ways of improving youth engagement. She discussed the example of human-centered design (HCD), which is much easier and requires fewer resources than other methods; however, many organizations believe that it requires substantial restructuring of their program design. Ms. Reyes described how HCD can be implemented on a smaller scale, such as in conversations during meetings. By focusing on implementing changes at a macro level, many organizations ignore opportunities to make smaller, easier changes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>[rs_blockquote cite=&#8221;Mariana Reyes&#8221;]Sometimes we can get so stuck on figuring out the \u2018best\u2019 way to do something that we overlook great yet smaller opportunities.

She explained the need for organizations to identify their priorities and fully explore their options before deciding on a strategy. Ms. Aguilera described how organizations should tailor their strategies to align with the contexts and populations of youths that they are working with. It is important to collaborate with young people to discover what strategies would work best rather than relying on strategic innovations used by other organizations in the field.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Could you tell us a little about We Trust You(th)?
