Youth Governance

Is a project to increase youth engagement, participation and trust in organisations.

  1. Recognition – Organisations offer Youth digital or physical membership credentials with associated rights and duties in relation to organization governance (e.g. electing representatives and contributing to debates).

  2. Education – Learning communities offer Youth Work-based Learning (WBL) governance and civics workshops, courses, and collaborations that are current and relevant to industry needs—incorporating Open Education Resources (OER) curated by a cross-disciplinary Community of Practice (COP) of participants, teachers, industry professionals, mentors, and experts.

  3. Employment – Organisations offer Youth opportunities to participate in governance tasks based on their role and associated rights and duties, using a range of easily accessible web technologies.

  4. Accountability – Standardised Trust Metrics offer transparent and cryptographic accountability that supports youth, investors, and government verification of organisations’ actions and outcomes.

  5. Sustainability – Organisations access Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) datasets for investment, reporting, research, and regulatory compliance.

    Why?
    Youth lack of participation in governance causes a demographic deficit. This deficit challenges youth in accessing opportunities and contributes to skills shortages in high-growth sectors. Civil society suffers from intergenerational conflict and weakened democracies.

    What’s next?
    Come To The Edge are building their own Youth Council with the help of partners and developing the work based learning Open Education Resources.
