2021 YouthPower2 Symposium Resource Page

On November 9-10, 2021, USAID YouthPower2: Learning and Evaluation (YP2LE) hosted the Straight from the Source: Perspectives on Effective Youth-Driven Programming Symposium. Taking place over two half days, the Symposium brought together young changemakers, youth-focused practitioners, USAID, and other donors to hear from youth leaders on promising strategies for addressing youth-adult power dynamics, learn about the latest Positive Youth Development tools, and identify outstanding challenges and further efforts needed to effectively engage with youth as equal partners in development. 

The Symposium covered an array of topics, focusing on youth engagement and relationship building; increasing representation of youth in development; and skills and training. Below, you will find resources from the Symposium sessions.
