Abstract
This guide is designed for organizations that want to involve young voices and input in their practices, activities, and programs. Its aim is to offer tips and recommendations crafted by young people for programs to use to better integrate youth voices and improve youth capacities. The tips and recommendations in this guide may be applicable to general opportunities for youth integration, but primarily this guide focuses on youth voice elevation through a youth advisory council. The guide was developed with input from nine dedicated youth who are committed to improving their communities. This includes four National Mentoring Resource Center Youth Advisory Council members and five peer focus group members.
