The Teen Participation Matrix for Libraries serves as a guide to assist with the cultivation of teen participation in the development and implementation of programming for themselves and their peers. This matrix moves the focus of teen participation from a passive approach to an active approach, and incorporates concepts on how to formulate goals around this envisioned future as well as how to measure successes.
The following is a recorded presentation by Jennifer Velasquez (Coordinator of Teen Services) that details the Teen Participation Matrix for Libraries; key concepts are also included below. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Jennifer.
