Youth Voice & CCYD
In this digital age, youth voice is a fundamental part of critically conscious youth delvelopment. Youth voice refers to the distinct ideas, opinions, attitudes, knowledge, and actions of young people as a collective body. The term youth voice often groups together a diversity of perspectives and experiences, regardless of backgrounds, identities, and cultural differences.
Community Building
We engage young socially driven advocates and influencers and connect them to like minded peers, mentors and organizations, beyond their geographic boarders. WWYN builds a collaborative community of change that seeks solutions to the barriers to education, employment and equity. We understand that our community must be founded in youth culture youth in order to foster youth-led solutions
Collaboration
WWYN is the result of youth organizations realizing, we could accomplish more collectively than individually to achieve a word where youth empowerment and digital equity could exit. By remaining true to our core missions, but working collaboratively for this common goal, we realized we could give youth a united voice beyond the limitations of location and access.
Digital Equity & Representation
Combating the digital divide is not just about access to technology, it's about creating a digital ecosystem that ensures that everyone has equal opportunity to culturally competent communities and resources online and in real life. No longer will they be force to support industries in the digital arts and sciences that do not reflect their lived experiences.
