About Us / Press
 The Arlington Youth Association (AYA) helps to provide voice, access and opportunity to young people. AYA has the ability to play an active, leadership role to nurture the inclusion of our youth by taking full and effective participation seriously. We can help overcome the substantive and logistical barriers to the involvement of young people today. Furthermore, the inclusion of young people will be of tremendous value to challenge and help them succeed in their future.
Involving young people develops their capacity to become engaged citizens in society. Meaningful participation in decision-making increases a sense of belonging to youth and develops their skills. Shifting public action from implementing projects for youth to providing youth with support to bring about change on their own provides an avenue for entrepreneurship, the strengthening of society. In turn this gives them a real sense of achievement. Press |
