EG-YE-03 Education & Growth Youth Empowerment CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Youth representation in organisation decision‑making

Assesses the extent to which young people have a meaningful voice and formal representation in the organization's governance and decision-making processes. It ensures their perspectives shape direction through defined voting rights or decision privileges, a tiered devolved budget, time‑bound board responses to youth recommendations, and public reporting on impact. The approach is grounded in *Shūrā* (consultation) and *Adab al-Ikhtilāf* (ethics of disagreement), ensuring participation is genuine, safe, and influential.

Fiqh Principles

Amānah

Authority is a trust; excluding youth from decisions affecting them breaches this trust.

Istikhlāf

Succession/stewardship; cultivating young decision-makers ensures institutional resilience.

Shūrā & Adab al-Ikhtilāf

Consultation must be meaningful and conducted with the ethics of respectful disagreement, avoiding tokenism.

Maqāṣid al‑Sharīʿah

Safeguarding youth protects ḥifẓ al‑nafs (life) and ḥifẓ al‑ʿird (dignity); leadership development protects ḥifẓ al‑ʿaql (intellect) and ḥifẓ al‑nasl (progeny).

Islamic Concepts

Shūrā

Consultative decision-making requiring inclusion of affected stakeholders.
