This answer is poignantly different than the stereotypical view of youth, who we think of as wanting just about anything except being with their parents. Whether from working poor families, dual professional couples, or single parents, kids are thirsting for more time with Mom and Dad. Dispelling another misconception, the vast majority of these youth believed that the presidential elections mattered and that they, even as non-voters, could make a difference. Improve the schools, especially the basics like the buildings, the books, the computers. Hardly the stuff of a cynical or self-absorbed generation.
Children Now takes hope and inspiration from youth.
As we meld our research and analysis about solutions and promising practices into palatable forms for media and leaders to digest, we find that youth voices are just the added ingredient needed to help lift our message above the fray. And then, we can get something done. We invite and welcome adding your voice to our efforts. Please sign-up for one or more of our FREE emailing listservs .
