County opens youth & parents survey to help young people thrive

The Loudoun County Advisory Commission on Youth has opened the annual Survey of Youth and Parents to gather information that will help county leaders make informed decisions about programs and services designed to support young people in our community.

The survey is intended for middle-and high-school-aged students and their parents or guardians. It takes approximately ten minutes to complete and includes questions across four topic areas:

• Activities and interests
• Drug and alcohol use
• Mental health and stress management
• Online access and activity

All responses are anonymous. Participants will not be asked to provide identifying information such as name, home address, birth date, IP address, or similar data.

The survey is open through Friday, Feb. 27, at 5 p.m. Survey results will help inform ACOY’s State of Loudoun Youth annual report to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors.

First launched in 2019 as part of the Board of Supervisors’ youth initiatives, the survey serves as an ongoing feedback tool to help county leaders stay current on trends in youth behaviors, interests, and needs, ensuring programs remain effective and responsive.
