Power of Youth Charter
Green Synergy’s commitment to supporting children and young people to socialise, learn and thrive has taken another step forward with our commitment to the Power of Youth Charter.
On June 6th 2023 on Power of Youth Day, Green Synergy has signed up to the Power of Youth charter and committed to:
- prioritise supporting young people to take action;
- open up our decision making structures;
- work collaboratively with others;
- and evidence and recognise young people’s impact.
Green Synergy believes that all children and young people should be empowered to make a positive difference on the issues that affect their lives, their communities and broader society.
We therefore adopt this Charter, committing to growing the Power of Youth in the
following areas:
WE WILL…
P PRIORITISE SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE TO TAKE SOCIAL ACTION
We will create opportunities that empower more young people, particularly from low- income and ethnic minority backgrounds, to be positive changemakers
O OPEN UP OUR DECISION MAKING STRUCTURES
We will offer opportunities for young people, particularly from low-income and ethnic minority backgrounds, to participate in decision-making, leading and shaping both the activities they are involved in and wider organisational decisions.
W WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS
We will work collaboratively with other organisations to create more high
quality opportunities, reach young people from low-income and ethnic
minority backgrounds to take part, share learning and achieve shared goals
E EVIDENCE THE BENEFITS OF YOUTH SOCIAL ACTION
We will capture and share insights, stories and data on how we are working with young people, and the positive impact this has on them, their communities and our organisation.
R RECOGNISE AND CELEBRATE YOUNG PEOPLE’S IMPACT
We will use our communication channels to advocate for and celebrate young people as positive and powerful changemakers.
Signing the Power of Youth charter – which is led by the #iwill movement – is a public commitment to take meaningful action to empower more young people to be active citizens.
You can sign your organisation up to the charter on the #iwill website.
