Auburn Youth Survey

The Auburn Junior City Council wants to hear from you. We are an advising body for our city leaders made up of youth. Your voice matters to us. We will be part of a townhall event April 8th at 6pm focused on Auburn youth advocacy around the issues of law enforcement, racial equity and Covid-19. A panel of speakers including Auburn School District Superintendent Dr. Alan Spicciati and Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus will answer questions that are important to you. To have your opinions heard, please fill out the survey below. Responses from this survey will inform our outreach for the upcoming year. Although this survey is welcome for everyone, we highly encourage youth aged 12-18 years to participate. Please be assured that your feedback will remain confidential. The first section asks for demographic information, but it will not impact how we view the rest of your responses. Thanks for your support.
