Youth Forum

OPS Name

Youth Forum

Why this OPS?

I chose this OPS because I am really passionate about young people in my city and I want a better opportunity for them to voice their concerns. i have been talking to quite a few youth in high schools and it seems like they all have similar concerns so on october 14th we (myself and the youth council I chair volentarily) are organising a youth forum between participants from different schools in the city.

Objectives

the objective it to get people talking about issues and things they are passionate about for young people, then empower them to make changes or advocate for themselves.

How to implement it?

Implementing it by running the forum at the local council chambers and providing dinner to participants, all free of charge. After the initial event on the 14th we are going to try have it every three months and keep communication going in between events regularly.

Benefits

Our city will have youth that are connected and unified, our council will be able to better engage with youth and have a better understanding of what issues we should be advocating

This is such a great project!

Good Luck, i wish for its success.
