Explore Marsing’s 2026 Youth Well-being Survey Results

The Communities for Youth Marsing initiative and local organizations, including the Marsing School District and Southwest District Health, invite community members to attend the Annual Marsing Community Data Walk on Thursday, November 12th, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Marsing High School.

This free event will bring together parents, youth, educators, service providers, and community leaders to explore local youth well-being data, reflect on progress made over the past year, and help identify priorities for future action.

If you are interested in attending, please RSVP here. RSVPs are not required but appreciated.

A C4Y staff member shares survey insights with Marsing community members at last year's Data Walk

Last year, community members reviewed local data and identified key focus areas to support youth well-being in Marsing. Since then, local organizations have worked together to address those priorities through the community physical activity resource guide, collaboration on youth engagement events and opportunities, annual one-on-one check‑ins between counselors and students, and strengthening community partnerships.

Participants will explore a series of data posters highlighting youth mental health, substance use, connection, safety, belonging, and other indicators of well-being. Facilitated discussions will provide opportunities for attendees to share their perspectives and help guide future community efforts.

Tara Woodward, Marsing Community Lead for Communities for Youth, said, "The Data Walk brings the community together around a shared commitment to youth well-being and gives us a chance to reflect on what we've started, learn from one another, and identify priorities for the future." 

Feedback gathered during the event will help inform future planning and collaboration among local organizations dedicated to helping children, youth, and families thrive.

This work is made possible through the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success (PFS) Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) received by Southwest District Health (SWDH), supporting the Communities for Youth Nampa initiative and local efforts to strengthen youth well-being and connection.
