Youth engagement is a vital but often underutilized tool in community planning and environmental projects. Early involvement fosters civic responsibility, strengthens leadership skills, and ensures that planning efforts reflect the diverse needs of current and future residents. This webinar provides planners with tested approaches, interactive methods, and case studies that demonstrate how youth participation enhances planning outcomes and strengthens local decision-making. Led by professionals from EPR PC, this webinar explores structured engagement strategies through case studies across Virginia and the US. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use strategies, including best practices for structuring engagement, ensuring youth-led recommendations translate into real planning outcomes, and fostering sustained involvement through mentorship, advisory councils, and curriculum integration.
