OPEN advocates that young people are consulted at the highest level on issues that impact them. OPEN endeavour to enable young people to have the confidence and skills to influence and engage at a strategic level and drive transformative change in service design and delivery. In turn, young people will directly influence systems, policy, and practice, to meet identified needs and priorities.
