UNICEF Canada had been working to develop the Canadian Index of Child and Youth Well-being to measure child and youth well-being across 9 different domains. In 2018, UNICEF Canada approached the Children and Youth Planning Table (CYPT) to be their community partner in developing a child and youth well-being survey that could be used across Canada to collect local data for the Index. Of course, we said yes!     Through 2018, 2019 and 2020 UNICEF Canada, the Canadian Index of Wellbeing, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and CYPT partnered to design the first Community Child and Youth Well-being Survey. We connected with youth across Waterloo Region to help make this happen: asking about the domains, getting input into questions, feedback on the survey tool, and how to promote. Youth even named the survey in our community. In 2020, the Youth Impact Survey was born!
