Principles

Positive thinking leads to positive results!

When community members and policymakers harness the positive energy and initiative of youth, good things happen:

• Youth believe they can be successful instead of internalizing the negative stereotypes about them that often appear in the media.
• Youth engage in productive activities that build job and life skills and reinforce community-mindedness.
• Youth grow comfortable questioning and exploring their roles as citizens in a participatory democracy.
• In addition, adults who work closely with youth—and therefore see their dedication, responsibility, and willingness to learn—tend to view youth positively.
