The image shows a digitally created document, which appears to be a guide or handout about tokenism in youth engagement. The text uses a clean and easily readable sans-serif font. The title "INTENTIONAL NOT REACTIONAL: A GUIDE TO AVOIDING TOKENISM WHEN ENGAGING YOUTH" is prominently displayed at the top in a bold, two-toned font (purple and light blue). The overall color scheme is muted and professional, using mostly white space with accents of purple and light blue. The text explains what tokenism is – the superficial involvement of a group in decision-making processes that keeps that group powerless, uninformed, and unaccountable – and offers tips for avoiding this. The mood is serious, informative, and slightly cautionary, emphasizing the importance of genuine youth engagement. There are no images or illustrations; only text is present.

What Is Old School?

Old School curates, creates, commissions and disseminates free resources to educate people about ageism and how to end it; hosts and facilitates spaces where age advocates around the world can connect; collaborates with other pro-aging organizations; and shows up for other social-justice movements.

Old School is working towards a world where everyone has the opportunity to live long and to live well. We are advancing the movement to dismantle ageism, and we are leveraging the fact that everyone ages (and experiences age bias) in order to address the intersectional nature of all oppression—and of all activism.
