CFYE recognises young people as diverse individuals with unique strengths. Their engagement is essential, not optional, in shaping solutions to global challenges. For us, youth engagement is a core strategy in tackling unemployment.
Over the past seven years, we have developed and tested our own MYP approach, drawing insights from several organisations, including the Youth at Heart Meaningful Youth Participation Toolkit and VSO’s Youth Engagement Framework Scorecard. This has given us a unique perspective on what works, what doesn’t, and how to drive meaningful youth participation for development partners, companies, and other ecosystem actors.
At the heart of CFYE’s mission is the belief that young people should not be seen merely as beneficiaries, but as leaders and co-creators of the solutions that affect their lives. By embedding intentional and supported youth participation across all CFYE activities, we aim to amplify young voices and ensure that employment solutions are relevant, inclusive, and sustainable.
