Heather, Partnerships Lead at @Youth_Truth, shares a crucial tip for the upcoming school year: Just listen. Engaging students in conversations about their needs and feelings fosters trust and empowers them in their social and emotional learning journey.

There's a large, widening gender gap in expectations of going to college, according the last @Youth_Truth survey of 2023 graduating high school seniors, especially at the 4-year level (39% v. 54%) youthtruthsurvey.org/wp-content/upl…

TODAY on the blog we revisit a powerful post on the importance of funder support for LGBTQ+ youth, sharing insights from @Youth_Truth data and guidance on how #funders can get started: cep.org/lgbtq-youth-de… #PrideMonth #Pride #Pride2023 #LGBTQIA #Students #StudentVoice

We surveyed 25,000+ seniors from the class of '23 & found that more students want to attend college than expect to actually enroll. Male students + those who prefer to self-describe their gender had an 11% mismatch while women only had a 6% mismatch. More: youthtruthsurvey.org/college23

"Way too often the voices of the people at the center of our schools, the students, are conspicuously absent. How can we improve outcomes and experiences if we don’t open our ears to them ... to be changed by what we hear?" -- Jen Wilka @Youth_Truth #FBLSummit #feedback

"Over the course of the last year, anti-LGBTQ+ hate has dovetailed with a movement for control over what is taught in schools in ways that threaten to erase the experiences of these students..." @Youth_Truth's Jimmy Simpson & @jendeforest on the CEP blog: cep.org/lgbtq-youth-de…
