Create It. Shape It. Embrace It.
My Tomorrow is the youth-led campaign for the West Midlands, which aims to empower young people and support those working with them.
The campaign highlights the opportunities and challenges, often unseen, in young people’s lives, sparking conversations between young people and communities to build understanding that leads to collaborative, positive action.
It has been designed by young people and will continue to be shaped by them, as more people and organisations join the movement.
The key aims are to:
- Empower young people to influence policies affecting their lives, ensuring their voices are heard and respected.
- Support professionals in creating and managing opportunities for youth engagement.
- Encourage communities to rethink perceptions and support opportunities for positive change.
- Spark conversations that lead to collective action, shaping a future where every young person thrives.
The campaign has been funded by the West Midlands Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) and the campaign brand and messaging was created by young people working with the charity The Positive Youth Foundation. It’s hoped the campaign will lead to greater collaboration, less duplication and better outcomes for young people.
Sandwell Council has joined the campaign to ensure that young people’s voices are heard.
