According to USAID Youth engagement is a term that can be interpreted in many ways. Some define it as simply enrolling young people as program beneficiaries; however, the organizations included in this review involved youth in more meaningful ways, such as through decision-making, program design, policy making and advocacy efforts. Some of the roles young people have taken on as staff and volunteers include participating as board members, trainers, lobbyists, and correspondents.
