Youth Voice Isn’t a Checkbox.

It’s a Practice.

Supporting Organizations to Do Youth Voice Right

Consulting, training and accountability for meaningful youth engagement.

Helping organizations embed youth perspectives into existing decisions, systems, and strategies.

You do not need a youth program or youth board to center youth voice meaningfully.

About Us

Virtue Visionary exists to help organizations move from performative youth engagement to youth leadership with real decision-making power.

We are the bridge between youth voice and action.

Grounded in lived experience and real implementation, our work focuses on building structures that protect youth, clarify adult roles, and sustain youth-led change over time.

We believe youth voice alone is not enough — systems must be designed to support youth governance, accountability, and follow-through. Youth voice is a practice embedded in decisions, not a program you must create.

Our approach centers dignity, consistency, and shared responsibility to ensure youth leadership is meaningful, not symbolic.

Youth voice can be embedded into any system — when done intentionally.

This model is built for organizations with OR without youth programs or boards — because youth voice is a system practice, not a structure.

  • A proven youth-led systems change model

  • Built through lived experience and real implementation

  • Moves organizations from youth consultation to shared governance

  • Centers youth decision-making authority and adult accountability

  • Prioritizes sustainability, protection, and follow-through

  • Best for organizations that want or already have youth boards.

  • Best for organizations without youth programs.

We believe meaningful youth voice requires investment. Our pricing reflects the depth, care, and accountability needed to build youth-led work that is ethical, protected, sustainable and impactful.
