Come Explore the 2025 Youth Well-being Survey Data for Nampa Teens

Good news! The Nampa Communities for Youth Initiative has completed collecting Idaho Youth Well-being Survey results from local middle school and high school students. Thank you to everyone who supported this effort!

To share what we learned, we are inviting community members to join us for a “data walk” on Tuesday, March 10th, from 5:30-7:30 PM at Northwest Nazarene University in the Howard & Mary Conrad Student Commons Building.

Data walks provide community members, including parents, grandparents, concerned citizens, and local leaders, with opportunities to better understand how young people are doing and begin identifying key areas where they may need more support. 

If you are interested in attending, please RSVP via the link below. RSVPs are not required, but they are greatly appreciated as we will be providing light refreshments.

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 that the Communities for Youth team prepares 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.

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.
