Genesee community members discuss their 2025-2026 Youth Well-being Survey results

In October, Genesee and Moscow School Districts participated in the Idaho Youth Well-being Survey to find out how kids in our communities are really doing. Data walks bring together community members, including parents, grandparents, local leaders, and school staff, to hear about these results and begin identifying key areas where they may need more support. 

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 then split into small groups and rotate through 6-8 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 which areas of well-being we want to focus on for the following year. This fun, interactive, community-driven event takes about 90 minutes.

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.
