Highlighted Activity: Examining Youth-Adult Partnerships

Creating authentic youth-adult partnership require both parties to overcome traditional youth and adult roles.  It takes work, commitment, and intentionality.  Role-playing is one of the ways IC trainers help young people and adults prepare for youth-adult partnerships.  This activity, from the IC’s toolkit Creating Youth-Adult Partnerships, familiarizes participants with the dynamics of typical youth-adult relationships and challenges participants to improve their own relationships in constructive ways.
