Too often, those most affected by challenges are excluded from discussions about solutions. Youth, in particular, are usually overlooked as experts in their own lives, and their efforts to engage in these conversations are often dismissed and met with a resounding "no." The “We Need a Y.E.S.” video series aims to change that. These interviews feature Youth Expert Stakeholders (Y.E.S.), providing a platform for them to share insights with people. The goal is to highlight the unique expertise of youth with lived experiences, identify gaps in current support systems, and present solutions from their perspective.
