AB  - BACKGROUND: The benefits of youth engagement are well documented. In this paper, 
      we examine youth engagement in America's Promise Alliance's Every School Healthy 
      initiative, a part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Together for Healthy 
      and Successful Schools Initiative (THSS). METHODS: Six community acceleration 
      sites were selected through a competitive grant-making process. Sites were 
      required to describe youth engagement strategies. A case study design was 
      employed to examine how sites conceptualize youth engagement as well as youth 
      engagement strategies employed across 6 sites. Data sources included 
      observations, team member debriefs, and document review. RESULTS: There was 
      variation in how youth engagement and youth voice are conceptualized in 
      educational settings, and readiness for youth engagement. Sites actively 
      solicited and implemented youth engagement resources and strategies. CONCLUSIONS: 
      By failing to engage young people, well-intentioned adults miss important 
      opportunities. Youth engagement presents an exciting opportunity for school 
      leaders, policymakers, and program planners to gain a deeper understanding of the 
      factors that influence individual and community health and wellbeing and, in 
      turn, helps them to develop responsive policies and programs.
