The reason behind the creation of this program stems from the fact that youth in our society are marginalized. There are accepted ageist notions of inferiority and lack of responsibility pertaining to younger people. By providing an atmosphere and space that accepts and nourishes the youth's idealism, exuberance, energy, and dreams, then we, as a community, allow ourselves to grow in knowledge and understanding. This atmosphere ans space will allow everyone to become a kid and take on a youthful attitude.
Communities have a responsibility to be inclusive.
The positive inclusion of youth in all activities of the Collective will allow the space and community to have a much stronger base of support, knowledge, and ideas. The program is designed to be coordinated by youth for youth. Everyone who takes part in the Collective should understand the importance of the youth liberation movement. The programs main function would be to provide a space where youth are comfortable and acknowledged as equal.
