11. HIV: Let's Change What We're Doing and End This Epidemic

Some were more recent, when, as an adult professional, I joined with youth to co-plan conferences or workshops.

14. My Take: Going Intergenerational - Our Next Chapter in Leadership
-
By Deb Levine, MA, & Jamia Wilson, MA | February 20, 2014
We are the president and executive director of YTH (Youth+Tech+Health), an organization committed to advancing the health of youth and young adults through technology, and we’ve got a pitch for you: if you work with young people, you can improve effectiveness by sharing leadership with them.
We mean sharing leadership in a substantive way—giving over the reins for a good part of the journey. Sound impractical, or impossible, or scary? It’s not. You can take that leap.
At YTH, we’ve recently implemented a model of intergenerational leadership ourselves. We fully expect this new leadership structure to expand our opportunities, build our potential, and shape the direction of our organization into the future.
