Core to the CLT mission is the stewardship of community assets for both present and future generations. Responding to today’s pressing social\, economic\, and environmental challenges—particularly those posed by climate change—requires listening to\, and raising up\, the voices of those who will be most affected: our youth. Engaging young people in community-owned land and housing will be crucial for building sustainable communities and advancing the stewardship mission of CLTs. This webinar was an engaging conversation with CLT practitioners and two youth leaders. Together\, we explored questions such as: \n\n\n\n\nHow are CLTs involving youth representatives in decision-making?\n\n\n\nHow are the concerns of youth members of CLTs shaping CLT practice?\n\n\n\nHow can we better engage youth and highlight their role in shaping the future of communities?\n\n\n\n\nPanelists\n\n\n\n\nAshley Allen serves as the Executive Director of the Houston Community Land Trust.
