This report presents the result of TakingITGlobal’s recent Rural Youth Opinions survey of members from rural Ontario. The survey consisted of thirteen
questions regarding youths’ views on the status of their rural communities and
what can be done to strengthen them. Rural youth opinions on the subject
differed from those few non-rural respondents, reflecting the difference
between perceptions of rural life and the actual status of rural Ontario. Even
within the rural responses, those who identified themselves as rural youths
expressed somewhat different (and often more positive) views about rural life than those who had lived in a rural community for some time but had not selfidentified.
The second portion of the report presents the conclusions and
recommendations delivered by Jennifer Corriero in her presentation at The
Ontario Rural Council’s annual conference on 18 October 2004. This section outlines ten different ways to engage youth in rural communities, from
recognizing youth as stakeholders, valuable sources of input and action, and role models, to connecting with national programs and celebrating diversity.
The appendices present the compiled survey data and a brief overview
of how youth see themselves influencing the future, taking from
TakingITGlobal’s Role of Youth research.
