Welcome to The YouthScan Project!
The YouthScan Project is the biggest initiative to elevate youth voice that Colorado has ever seen. By participating, you will join a statewide movement for leaders and decision-makers to listen to what young people have to say.
Your voice and your point of view are important. Research suggests that youth know the issues in their communities three years before adults. This project seeks to tap into this amazing knowledge that young people collectively hold so decision-makers can respond to emerging and critical issues more quickly.
This portal is a 1-session guide that will walk you through 2 steps, which can be completed in 15 minutes to one hour. Your progress will be saved in this system. You can log out and return again later if needed.
How it works:
- It’s easy. Just follow the step-by-step instructions.
- Fill out the questions as you go. Make sure to click “Submit Answers” before you mark each page complete.
- When you’re done, your insight will automatically update in the database. All information will be completely anonymous. Please do not use any names or identifying information at any point while completing The YouthScan Project.
That’s it on your end! YouthRoots will combine all the information from students across the state in an interactive dashboard to share with the public to help get the right programs, resources, and funding to the right places. (Your responses and personal information will remain 100% anonymous to the public and your name will not be tied to your responses.) If you want to see the changes that result out of this project, you can opt in for email updates.
You are the future. It’s time we start acting like it.
