Beliefs
When youth voice is heard at a local, state or national level, they feel:
“…like we have the power to really make a difference, not only with those around them but with people across the world.” – Mark, Seneca, WI
“…there is nothing to hold them back. All doors are open and you can do anything, with your full force and ambition.” - anonymous

Beliefs When adults work with and engage young people in
decision making, I feel:
“…challenged, but excited and energized. I know that the outcomes of the efforts will be significantly more powerful than if I did it alone.” Sadie Schniztler – Wisconsin Promise Statewide Youth Leadership Council
“…excited, motivated and encouraged. When I see their confidence and maturity blossom through the responsibilities they take on, I am reminded of why I do the work I do.” Stephanie Bass-Faust, Wisconsin Regional Teen Institute
