The Idea:
1. Provide students with data2. Let students find the inequities-don’t worry, they are
always there!3. Watch them get fired up4. Listen while they decide what to do about it5. Provide time, space, guidance, technical support, and
money so that they can do their thing

In Their Own Words
![Page 10: Amplifying Student Voice: Kate Doyle, Willamette High School Cassadie Ross… · 2020. 4. 14. · Remember to invite them to the decision making table Let your admin know you’ve](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071507/61286601e3547a2ccc232ea4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Role of the Adult Ally● Scaffolding civic engagement● Creating a safe space with
common agreements● Staying out of the way● Remember to invite them to
the decision making table● Let your admin know you’ve
got students trained to participate as valuable stakeholders

Lessons Learned
1. Provide structure for student recruitment 2. Structure discussions to amplify youth- not adult- voice3. Students are busy! They are not at our disposal4. Students will be brutally and refreshingly honest when
data shows inequities5. Listening to youth is a paradigm shift for many adults
