What Do You Want To Take Stock Of?: Exploring the Gallup Student
Poll
To
make good decisions, leaders need complete data from all the settings and
systems where young people spend their time. They need information about
youths' physical and mental health, afterschool activities, employment and
family structure, and more. They need information about the extent and
performance of existing services and supports. Better
data helps leaders use their resources more efficiently and effectively. We'll
learn more about how to getter a better understanding of youth outcomes through
the Gallup Student Poll, as well as highlight recent Gallup Student
Poll findings from the Northern Kentucky region. Come explore the variety of
data that communities have found useful and consider what is most important in
yours through this interactive webinar
