7. The nature of our activities is important to achieving our purposes
The nature of our activities is important to achieving our purposes. The best relationships form when leaders foster initiative, the use of agency, and competence with specific skills. Real activities with meaningful outcomes are more likely to result in close relationships.

8. “Youth become engaged and show more initiative when they feel their opinions are valued and that they have a certain degree of choice in what is going on in the program. In the literature this is referred to as youth voice. Youth need to be provided opportunities to have their opinions heard in ways that actually matter and effect change. Superficial attempts to promote youth voice should be avoided because more damage than good can be done by asking for youths’ opinions but then doing nothing with them.”
