Youth Development

Youth Participation Charter

Opening Statement:

We, the Good Shepherd Network value all young people and recognise that they are vital in the development of the Good Shepherd Life and Vision into the future.

The Good Shepherd Network aims to empower young people through meaningful participation, recognising and nurturing their strengths, interests and abilities.

The Good Shepherd Network invites all young people to embrace the social justice principles that guide us:

When any person is oppressed, we are all diminished.

When any part of creation is abused or destroyed we are impoverished

We are prepared to challenge people, institutions or structures that diminish fullness of life and human dignity.

For the purpose of this charter, Good Shepherd Life and Vision views youth participation as not based simply on age, but on the attributes brought by young individuals to their role
