Child & youth impact assessments (CYIAs) are beginning to demonstrate value in elevating the needs of young people in communities across the country. A child & youth impact assessment—much like a health, environmental, and racial equity impact assessment—provides a systematic way for policymakers and community leaders to understand policy and other proposals’ effects on young people.
In Fresno, California, for example, a group of high school students used an impact assessment to advance STEM diversity in their school. And in a community in Colorado, an impact assessment was instrumental in helping to pass a ballot measure to fund one of the most under-resourced schools in the state. These and other case stories show impact assessments’ value and highlight the role they have had in influencing policy decisions that directly affect young people.
Learn more about child & youth impact assessments and how they have made a difference for young people as policy decisions are made.
