Albert Einstein..."No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.".
The deep key to the success of charities such as 'Every Family Matters', 'Choose, Change, Become' and 'International Youth Forum' is that they are run by youth for the world.
Other, lesser keys, include protecting the young people from impositions, traditions and adult mores; supporting resilience, courage, adventuresomeness, creativity; endorsing/supporting character, personality and individuality.
Vital contributive positions/skills of adults are professional mentoring, coaching and facilitation of powerful youth motivators of 'autonomy, challenge, making a difference/contribution' through which real and meaningful life experiences lead to awareness, judgement, skills and confidence - part of what we (whom apply Einstein, as above) call 'GLIP' learning, 'glipping'.
These young people have had great success in attracting resources to their initiatives - people, places, funding, projects. Perhaps this is because they are making a difference as they evolve themselves. I like that they will be responsible for my world later as I'm not proud of what I see we adults have done, but I do like what I see in our young people.
All whom acknowledge/help young people in any way do a fine thing.
