So true! As an org that built its youth advisory board a whopping 4 years ago, Headstream has put a ton of thought into what makes fo authentic co-creation, and what's more performative. Have you seen the Ladder of Youth Participation? There's a version of it here. It's one way of understanding this work: https://www.youthpower.org/youth-drg-toolkit-3-models-roger-hart-ladder

I love the ladder metaphor! We rarely see companies get beyond Rung 4, Rung 5 at a stretch. Headstream's Youth Co-Creator Club is a great example of moving past those rungs.
