Youth involvement<br />

This term is <strong>of</strong>ten used interchangeably with ‘youth participation’.<br />

Youth participation<br />

This is the most common term used in the fields <strong>of</strong> youth development, youth governance, and health.<br />

It follows the terminology used for the inclusion and involvement <strong>of</strong> other marginalized groups (i.e.,<br />

participation <strong>of</strong> people living with HIV/AIDS). <strong>The</strong> U.S. National Commission on Resources for Youth<br />

defines youth participation as: ‘Involving youth in responsible, challenging action that meets genuine<br />

needs, with opportunity for planning and/or decision-making affecting others, in an activity whose<br />

impact or consequences extends to others – outside or beyond the youth participants themselves.’<br />
