OUR PREVIOUS AGENDAS
Since 2021, our coalition members convene annually to:
Push forward movement on previous NYC Youth Agenda recommendations
Analyze and synthesize new data alongside their own powerful experiences to shed light on the ongoing and evolving needs of NYC youth
Develop new policy recommendations in response to emerging needs and shifts in the political landscape

As an iterative process, we incorporate feedback loops along the way to ensure community members, especially youth, have opportunities to engage with our research. Our annual Winter Dataland event brings out hundreds of NYC youth to learn about our YAY survey results, add to our collective analysis, and help shape the policy recommendations we include in the NYC Youth Agenda.

OTHER WAYS WE SHOW UP
The Youth Ask Youth (YAY) Census is the only annual, youth-designed digital survey in NYC. Over the last five years, it has helped shape real citywide programs and policies, including the annual NYC Youth Agenda.

First launched in 2022, the Policy Event brings together elected city officials, city agency representatives, and intergenerational youth advocates for the unveiling of the NYC Youth Agenda and key policy recommendations. Coalition members also report on the progress, or lack thereof, around previous Youth Agenda recommendations through our Accountable to YOUth report. Through this event, we aim to secure commitments from elected officials and city-agency representatives to continue meeting and working with us throughout the year to ensure the recommendations in the NYC Youth agenda become reality and not just rhetoric.

Over the summer of 2025, some of our members from our Environmental Justice Policy Committee attended the Climate Street Fair to represent the NYC Youth Agenda! They collected data, swapped ideas with other environmental justice groups, and listened to what our community needs.
