Washington State is a beautiful place, filled with mountains, lapped with water, packed with successful agriculture, and bursting with culture. It is also a hot-bed of youth-led activism, youth-adult partnerships, and other forms of Youth Voice. However, it is not unique. Around the world today there are literally hundreds of thousands of examples of Youth Voice activities, programs, organizations, strategies, and other tools. Where is this collection? Since 2001, Adam Fletcher has been working with young people and adults across the U.S. to gather the best resources available.

The Washington Youth Voice Handbook provides a clear guide to the Youth Voice movement in the state by featuring more than 50 Youth Voice activities. Fletcher explores "What, Why, Who, Where, When, and How" Youth Voice happens, detailing important lessons and tips that apply far beyond this corner of the U.S. The Handbook also features more than 20 workshop outlines designed to help groups explore different aspects of Youth Voice; a Washington Youth Voice Directory, and; a resource guide highlighting dozens of important organizations, websites, and publications from around the world.
