The Youth Ask Youth census was developed by over 300 NYC youth ages 13-24. It covers questions related to jobs, safety, policing, food, internet access, experience with schooling, civic participation, health, and covid specific questions. It allows youth to reflect on your current experience and to suggest creative improvements to the systems and services for young people in NYC. This dashboard summarizes the results of the Youth Ask Youth census.
This dashboard shares results from Amplify’s annual Youth Ask Youth survey of New York City young people.
Amplify was created by the Intergenerational Change Initiative (ICI), which uses intergenerational, critical participatory action research and human-centered design to build tools that drive municipal youth policy making and local action. In 2016, ICI partnered with the Young Hackers, a group of high school technologists, and over 200 other NYC youth to design Amplify and develop the first version of the annual youth survey. A team of youth and adult data scientists at CUNY SPS analyzes the results.
