Post-survey Next Steps for the Boise Initiative
Communities for Youth
Boise Initiative
Boise Schools, St. Luke’s Community Health and Engagement, the city of Boise Mayor’s office, parents, partners, and other community members have committed to being a Community for Youth. The initiative hopes to move youth mental health and well-being efforts upstream.
Boise is in their 3rd year of conducting the Youth Well-Being Survey and their first year of working as a Community for Youth. Together, the Boise community is keeping the attention on building the best possible community for kids. In Fall 2023, Boise partners and community members reviewed the data and set some goals.
The Boise initiative is currently focused on increasing social connection for young people.

Get Involved
The Communities for Youth approach depends on everyone working together to build the best possible community for kids. We call community meetings Action Team meetings. In Action Teams, we review the data, learn about what we can do and make plans for concrete actions everyone can take to support youth well-being. Learn what we our focused on currently. Action teams will start again in the Fall 2024.
