The Boise Communities for Youth Initiative is excited to invite community members to a “data walk” on Thursday, January 15, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM at the Boise City Council Chambers (150 N Capitol Blvd, Boise, ID)

There will be light refreshments for all attendees, and Spanish translation services will be provided to ensure everyone in our community can participate in this important and engaging event.

Data walks provide community members, including parents, grandparents, concerned citizens, and local leaders, with opportunities to better understand and process the Idaho Youth Well-being Survey results for middle and high school students in Boise Schools.

If you are interested in attending, please consider RSVPing through the link below. RSVPs are not required, but they are greatly appreciated.

RSVP for Boise’s Community Data Walk

What's a Data Walk?

Data walks are events where community members are invited to learn about the survey results.  Each data walk starts with a general overview of the Communities for Youth data-driven community engagement process. Attendees are then separated into small groups, which rotate around 7-8 data posters prepared by the Communities for Youth team using local youth survey results. At each poster, group members build their understanding of what the data is saying and then have brief, facilitated conversations about what it means. At the end of the meeting, we prioritize what areas of well-being we would like to focus on for the following year. This fun, interactive, community-driven event takes about 90 minutes.

Communities for Youth staff member listens to a group of Boise students discuss the 2024 survey results.

Who Should Attend? 

Everyone is welcome; this is truly a community-wide effort!

Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, youth service professionals, elected and business leaders, community organizations, neighborhood groups, and others are all encouraged to attend.

Whether you want to learn more about how local youth are doing, share your perspective, or contribute to creating positive change, this event is a great opportunity to get involved.

2025 Data Walk Overview
