Youth engagement is an investment that must be made by every public and private institution of Pakistan. Youth engagement provides an opportunity to everyone to tap the potential of young people in creating a peaceful and prosperous society. When young people are provided opportunities for engagement they stay away from troubles, they prepare themselves for bigger challenges and they act and lead. On the other hand, when we ignore youth engagement, young people become very vulnerable as they look for opportunities and support structures to establish their identities and prove their usefulness. Youth engagement is about give and take.  There are many ways to establish and institutionalize the routes for youth engagement. A few of the ways for youth engagement are given below:

• Youth engagement should be integrated into the curriculum of the educational and technical institutions. Every child and young person should be given an opportunity to use classroom learning into real life situations. Youth engagement should be made mandatory for every youth as part of their study requirement.
• Existing youth internship programs should be replaced with youth engagement programs. Under internship programs, young people are provided opportunities to get employment experience. It would be better if we encourage and provide resources (internship stipend) to young people to establish a community-based social enterprise.
• Integrating youth engagement into existing public entities at the national, provincial and local levels. It will provide ready-made framework to use youth engagement as a strategy for nation building.
• A national body on youth engagement should be formulated with the objectives of promoting, documenting and coordinating youth engagement activities at all levels of the country.
• Enlisting support of media and celebrities for the promotion of the youth engagement. Case studies demonstrating the impact of young engagement should be collected from the field for recognition and inspiration.
• Allocating five percent of the national and provincial budgets to youth engagement.
• Establishing linkages with regional and international organizations working for the promotion of youth engagement.
• Acknowledging the contributions of those who serve in youth engagement programs.
• A national level team of master trainers should be developed to train and engage civil society institutions in designing and implementing  youth engagement programs.
• Youth engagement should be employed as a cost-effective strategy by the leading ministries and departments such as women, education, health, environment, skill development, etc of Pakistan for meeting their developmental goals.
• Youth engagement should be used as tool for promoting national unity and fostering national development.
• Youth engagement should be seen as a method of realizing local, national and international commitments.
• Youth engagement should be seen as an alternative strategy for engaging unemployed youth in community service, thus helping them to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes required for any job.
• Youth engagement programs should be developed and delivered through public and private partnerships.
• Creating a youth engagement foundation devoted to youth engagement with a venture capital fund gathered from major foundations, organizations, corporations and philanthropists.
• Setting-up a youth engagement school to provide extensive and residential trainings to youth, civil society organizations, youth-serving organizations, etc.
• Enlisting support of well-established youth-serving institutions such as Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts for the expansion of youth engagement programs.
