These insights are included through a partnership with The YouthScan Project, an innovative initiative that aims to help center youth voice at scale in Colorado.  \nYouth know the issues in their communities three years before adults. The YouthScan Project is a new digital project that puts youth voices front and center in the decisions that impact their lives in real time.  \nHow Does It Work?  \nThrough an interactive workshop, youth identify current and emerging needs, in their own words. Participants submit up to three issues to The YouthScan Project through an anonymous digital portal. Youth share their ideas about strategies for prevention, ways to support impacted youth, policies to create change, and new innovative solutions to build a better future. Verbatim ideas from young people aged 14-24 populate The YouthScan Project Dashboard. Submissions can be filtered by county, demographics, timepoint, issue category, solution category, and keyword search.  \nWhat’s the Impact?  \nThis project simultaneously empowers youth to have real-world impact while allowing youth-serving sectors to learn from the youth they serve. The dashboard can be accessed by young people, youth-serving organizations, schools, advocacy groups, foundations, government, and policymakers to center youth voice in decision making and support youth-adult partnerships. Partners receive custom reports to inform resources and programs benefiting youth.  \nWhat are youth saying about The YouthScan Project?  \nInterested in The YouthScan Project?  \nContact Susie Roman, The YouthScan Project Director [susie@youthroots.org](susie@youthroots.org)  \n“I felt so good expressing my thoughts and ideas about things that need to be really figured out in our country. I love being a voice and a leader in my own way! This is such a great project to make you involved with all communities.”  \n“I loved the collaborative and youth-focused format of the workshop. The facilitators did an amazing job engaging the group and explaining the tasks at hand. I left the session feeling encouraged, motivated, and feeling like my voice is heard!”  \n“This workshop allowed me to truly reflect + express myself in ways I haven’t been able to before.”  \n“I loved the YouthScan Project I think it was a amazing way/idea to get involved as well as hear different perspectives and voices from others my age. It also helped me brainstorm ideas to improve our world in my future career.”  \nis made possible through the support of:  \nThis research was funded in part by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
