At The HUB, we involve youth accessing services or resistant to access services in program creation and service delivery models. Their input is what builds trust in services, when often their experiences with service providers has represented loss and repercussions that felt hopeless and uncomfortable. By dismantling the power dynamics that exist in social service systems, youth feel empowered to create a model of support for themselves that is sustainable, built with their needs in mind and hopeful for success. #bedifferent #foryouthbyyouth #transformativejustice

Public consultations are the cornerstone of community engagement, yet too often they fall short of their intended purpose. Part two of out consultation series is live! Susan O. delves deep into the common pitfalls and challenges that plague traditional consultation methods. 🔄 Repetition of Voices: One of the most glaring issues is the repetition of the same voices in public consultations. This not only limits the diversity of perspectives but also perpetuates existing power dynamics within communities. 🚧 Barriers to Participation: Accessibility barriers, such as language, timing, and format, pose significant challenges for many community members. Addressing these barriers is essential to ensuring equitable participation for all. 💡 Rethinking Engagement Strategies: Traditional consultation methods often fail to adapt to the evolving needs of communities. By embracing innovative engagement strategies and prioritizing inclusivity, we can create more meaningful and impactful consultation processes. At QuakeLab, we're obsessed with getting messy with big problems, and sometimes, the thing we've been doing the same way for a long time, is a big problem looking us dead in the eye.

From playgrounds and classrooms to workplaces and boardrooms, collaboration enables people to achieve shared goals. But collaboration alone won’t transform the systems that are failing youth and families of color and youth and families experiencing poverty. To create lasting change so that communities can thrive, we need to move beyond collaboration — we need to build strong #CivicInfrastructure. See what this looks like in communities across the country: https://hubs.li/Q02xPYnC0

There are now more people living in cities than in rural areas... Many developing countries are witnessing a monthly influx of 5 million individuals into urban centers, a considerable portion being adolescent girls seeking better life prospects. Urban living for girls is a double-edged sword, with heightened risks like sexual harassment and insecurity alongside the opportunities of improved education, reduced early marriages, and more political involvement. Our objective is to increase safety and access to public spaces, as well as meaningful participation in urban development planning for women and girls in cities. How we work to make cities safer for girls: We design, execute, monitor and track Collaborative Campaigns for public and private organizations looking to create CSI projects or programs that have a meaningful and sustainable impact in making public spaces safer for women and girls. DM us or visit our website to find out how you can support out upcoming #16DaysofActivism campaign https://lnkd.in/erArasYU

Chair of Inspire 2 Ignite CIC | Co-Founder of Citizen Hub | Collaborative Growth Through Community | Future Talent Empowerment Advocate
The diversity of people that engage with the Citizen Hub has taught me 5 things about the need for community interest projects like this: 1. Never assume anything about someone who walks in, taking the time to sit and listen, you get to understand so much about where people are and who they want to become. 2. The importance of environment in how it makes you feel in a space is crucial to ensure safety and creativity. 3. Developing strategies to ensure all generations and backgrounds recognise the Hub as 'for them', marketing using different platforms with tailored voices is crucial. 4. Once demand has been evidenced, it's crucial to develop an understanding for what organisations need to be aware of the project and being clear what that value exchange is. 5. Build it and they will come is just 5% of the solution, to future proof the model, taking research of what the community are asking for and building products/services to support those needs is what will ensure this project is here for years to come. 6. (Bonus) Forgive yourself and give yourself permission to say "We all want to be at Z" but for now let's just focus on getting A to E! Taking new approaches and trying to innovate in this space is not easy, those you think would flock to support don't always come true and having faith in the community you serve is the one thing that gives us the most confidence. We are still only 12 weeks in to this, it is working though and I am certain a Citizen Hub is what every town needs to connect people to skills and jobs locally. #CitizenHub #CoGrow #Community
