Why is lifting youth voice is important? Lifting youth voice is important because there is so much value in having different perspectives to bring to the table. The youth of this generation have such distinct experiences, facing the pandemic and other rising issues such as mental health declining worldwide, global warming, and so much more. With the youth nowadays facing such existential challenges, our voice and story is one that is unique and worth listening to.
