We’re asking young people to imagine a better future for us all.

The past year has fundamentally reshaped the lives and dreams of young people across the country. To ensure our work is responding to their evolving needs – and to give decision makers everywhere a chance to hear from young people in their own words – we are working with a team of young people to gather stories and insights from thousands of their peers across hundreds of communities in all 50 states. The ensuing State of the Future report will share:

• How this year has affected mental health, relationships, academics, home lives, job prospects, and more of our nation’s young people

• Their ideas for a “new normal” that better serves their needs and the future they want to see

• How schools, communities, families, and organizations like ours can best support them this fall and beyond
