Youth Voice in Community Schools Communication Survey

Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) developed the Youth Voice in Community Schools Guide to examine the voice, engagement, and leadership of youth in Community Schools and to illuminate practices from the field. The guide supports practitioners in better understanding and providing resources and equitable opportunities to youth in their schools and communities.

This 5-minute communication survey aims to collect your feedback after reviewing the guide. Meanwhile, we want to collect stories of your practices engaging youth voices in schools and communities. Please take a look at the guide BEFORE responding to this survey.
