The Centre for Youth Voice

The Centre for Youth Voice at YMCA George Williams College advocates for and supports a stronger role for the voices of young people in evaluation and continuous quality improvement.  

Underpinned by our belief in the participation of young people within decision-making, the Centre for Youth Voice develops and shares approaches to embedding the voices of young people, directly supporting them to develop their research and evaluation skills.
