get involved

Thanks for your interest in YouthTruth! There are many ways to engage with YouthTruth, depending on your role within the education system and your approach to improving the educational experiences of young people.

for school district or network leaders

We are continuously recruiting school networks and districts to participate in YouthTruth. We primarily look for schools in groups, or cohorts, so that we have multiple schools from within a given district or operating network involved. This allows us to generate the most useful comparative data for participating schools. To learn more about the guidelines for participating in YouthTruth, see the YouthTruth Overview.

for school leaders

YouthTruth is implemented in two pre-defined rounds during the school year. By participating, schools commit to:

• Hosting a YouthTruth Kick-Off Assembly
• Surveying at least 60% of the student body
• Discussing the results of their YouthTruth report with CEP
• Participating in a fully funded regional convening with other YouthTruth schools

To learn more about what it takes to implement YouthTruth in your school, please see the YouthTruth Overview.
