Youth Priorities

The survey is for youth and young adults ages 12-25 who live and/or attend school in/around San José. It was designed to gather information about the lived experiences of community members. This information will help the City of San José Youth Commission make recommendations to leaders and policymakers about improving services and creating more opportunities for young people in our community. All questions are optional, and you may skip any question(s) you prefer not to answer.
