More than 30 organizational partners, parents, youth, and other community members in Boise have committed to building the best possible community for young people by moving local youth mental health and well-being efforts "upstream".
​
Each year the Boise Initiative implements a population-level youth well being survey with middle/junior high and high school students to keep itself grounded in the strengths and needs of local young people. The 2024-2025 Youth Well-being Survey showed a continued need to focus on increasing youth social connection.
