Youth Voices Action 为青年节做准备

Share:

青年之声行动(YVA)正在组织YouthFest,这是一个青年节,旨在展示社区中年轻人的才华。该活动将于5月25日青年周期间在历史村举行。YVA,前身为陶朗加青年发展小组,致力于增强年轻人的声音并使社区更具代表性。

YVA总经理埃里卡·哈维解释说,该组织有一个青年咨询小组来制定其举措。2024年的青年大使是来自奥图莫泰学院的15岁的加布里埃尔·斯汀普森。Stimpson认为,YVA为年轻人提供了与不同的人一起工作并在年轻人中有所作为的机会。

YVA鼓励年轻人分享他们的观点,表达他们对他们想要改变的系统的感受。他们的目标是为年轻人提供一个安全的环境来讨论他们的问题和潜在的解决方案。Stimpson强调,YVA旨在确保听取年轻人的意见,确保他们有机会就自己关心的问题提供反馈和采取主动行动。

YVA成员学会在意见之间妥协并提出解决方案。埃里卡·哈维(Erika Harvey)强调说,参与者要学会寻找共同点,并与他们通常不会选择成为朋友的人合作。

YouthFest将邀请青年乐队、展示其产品的年轻企业家等等。该活动不仅是一场庆祝活动,也是年轻人探索自己的兴趣、增强信心并在安全的空间中享受乐趣的机会。YVA正在为该活动寻求当地企业的赞助。

YVA还组织其他活动,例如 “100% 夏日”、“Jammin’in the Park” 和每年在心理健康宣传周期间举行的FluroFest。该组织还处理政治问题。例如,19岁的青年小组成员艾拉希望看到立法改革,以快速审理针对年轻人的虐待案件。

成为YVA的一员提供了参与活动、获得志愿服务经验、与各种组织和个人合作、学习如何提供正式反馈以及有所作为的机会。该组织目前正在为YouthFest寻找企业赞助商和资金。
