Teens Speak Out For Safety On the Job: Lessons from the Young Worker Leadership Academy
This booklet explains the inner workings of the YWLA. It is a useful resource for anyone interested in putting together an exciting program to help young people learn about job safety and grow into leaders. You might work in youth development, adolescent health, occupational safety and health, or education; you might work for a government agency, a community organization, or a university. But what you probably share with us is the desire to see young people understand an issue, develop opinions and strategies to address it, put their plans into action, and become fully engaged in the overall effort. It is accompanied by supplemental materials found online.
