Five lessons on building youth power through school participatory budgeting

Antonnet Johnson

Chapter 9 in Educating for Democracy, 2024, pp 159-177 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter describes the evolution of the School PB initiative of the Participatory Budgeting Project (PBP) and presents the main findings emanating from interviews with PBP staff and a participatory workshop. Antonnet Johnson details the insights shared by PBP staff while implementing large- and small-scale School PB processes in high school communities throughout the United States. In the concluding section of the chapter, Johnson discusses five overarching lessons and supporting recommendations to consider when designing and implementing a School PB process: budgeting for staffing, implementation, and training, delineating roles and responsibilities of adults and youth, outlining participation goals, leveraging relationships, and collecting relevant data.
