Participation
Welcome to Meaningful Youth Participation
Meaningful Youth Participation is important to empower our youth, increase engagement and to meet the WAGGGS mission statement. As stated in Compass 2032, our vision is an equal world where all girls can thrive. By 2032, we will be a girl-led Movement where every and any girl feels confident to lead and empowered to create a better world together.
Meaningful Youth Participation (MYP) means that children and young people are considered the experts in their own lives, and are informed, empowered, safe and valued when they participate.
This page will provide you with information and examples of high quality Meaningful Youth Participation in WAGGGS and how leaders, Member Organisations and WAGGGS Global Team can increase their use of youth participation for all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world.
