Youth survey coming in newsletter, online

Vancouver neighborhood leaders who attended this year’s Neighborhoods USA conference in Spokane came back with one major message: We need to get our kids involved.

To that end, the Office of Neighborhoods is hoping to attach a youth survey to mailed neighborhood newsletters during the next month. The survey has already been posted online.

It’s an easy six-question survey that covers the issues important to kids today and how neighborhood associations can help.

To find the online survey, go to www.cityofvancouver.us and click on “youth survey.”
