Editor's Notes
- City of Vaughan Youth Cabinet I was 18 when I joined, my school principal recommended that I apply since I “always seem to have an opinion about things” Together we organized a conference called The Truth About Youth – to challenge the stereotypes of our generation
- Early experiences as a teenager influenced the concept, vision and mission of TakingITGlobal We launched an online hub and virtual resource centre for youth globally
- In 2002 we attended our first major UN Summit – World Summit on Sustainable Development – in South Africa We joined the Youth Caucus and launched a website (EarthYouth) to help support coordination of efforts We learned about how civil society influences the policy process
- We travelled to Ghana to meet our members – who organized a meeting! It was an inspiring expierience
- We launched the YES Country Networks platform in Egypt 2002 at the Library of Alexandria
- We launched National Information Society Youth Campaigns I was on the country delegation in Canada who endorsed the youth paragraph (proposed by Fiji) It was the first accepted that day! WSIS Youth Paragraph
- We worked together with UN Habitat to facilitate the Habitat Jam (in French & Spanish) We helped to organize the youth pavilion with different presentations etc.
- At the World Programme of Action for Youth + 10 we helped provide input through online consultations We organized a side event with the European Youth Forum I left with a strong sense of urgency – wanting to study National Youth Councils (especially in Europe) This helped provide research for CLC Canada
- We organized the Youth Force at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto 2006 We had many dignitaries at our Pavilion in the Global Village who made commitments to youth We followed up months later to request updates

- Flexible space to voice opinions, to develop ideas, linkages with decision-makers Recognition

- The issue that called me to action was leveraging youth engagement toward social change.
- The Theory of Change; Each zones highlights the THEORETICAL thematic focus; Axes are what bring individual discussions about an Impact Measure into CONVERSATION; The aim is to show a linear but cyclical order of events; Inside each quadrant there is a secondary ‘Inspire/Inform/Involve’ process that goes on;
- Percentage value represents the average proportion of the membership that reported a ‘Positive’ impact across all scaled questions for the quadrant; These numbers are sensitive to the number of metrics involved (Particularly Quadrant 4 – 3 metrics vs. Quad 2 with 11) Working to weight these values, ideally based on scaling constants defined through correlation analysis with offline actions, e.g. attending/organizing/creating/contacting/presenting etc. The aim is to evolve this into a Topline ‘Report Card’ to track impact by region; Can be viewed through multiple segment lenses, e.g. Region, Gender, Age, Duration, Education and custom variables like ‘Volunteer B/C of TIG’ (Q18)
