Youth Impact Storytelling

What could this idea change?

Makes youth perspectives visible in decisions and demonstrates contribution without exposing identity, location or personal circumstances.

Could this work in our club?

• Young participants, families, schools, youth organisations, community decision-makers and supporters of youth-led service. Use when a school or youth partner supports a defined, beneficial storytelling purpose.

Before you start

• Written agreement with the responsible school or youth organisation on roles, safeguarding and publication.
• Age-appropriate participant information, youth assent and required parent or guardian permissions.
• Trained facilitators, accessible methods and a plan for anonymity, withdrawal and welfare response.

At the end: Check participant welfare through the partner, provide the final item in an accessible form, remove unsafe responses, and honour any later withdrawal under the agreed process.
