The Freechild Project has been promoting Youth Voice in nonprofit
organizations, schools, foundations and government agencies since it
was founded in 2001. Working with a variety of partners across the
country, Freechild has learned about Youth Voice from the 1000s of
young people and adult allies in our workshops and critical
conversations. This Youth Voice Toolkit is a summary of different
tools we have developed, as well as a few adaptations of work others
have done.
