“Youth-led, adult-guided” refers to a collaborative approach where young people take the lead in planning, decision-making, and implementation; while adults provide guidance, support, and resources to ensure their success. Rooted in positive youth development, this framework values youth voice, fosters meaningful participation, and builds skills by recognizing the strengths and potential of young people within a supportive adult partnership.
