Youth Bring Data To Life, What Will They Do Next?

November 11, 2024

As the 2024-25 Springfield Youth Health Surveys conclude and the new Beat the Odds season begins, we celebrate the remarkable work of the Data-to-Action subgroup. Last year, youth delved into the complexities of data, explored the insights about gambling and mental health from the Springfield Youth Health Survey, and transformed their findings into stunning visual representations. By sharing their stories and insights, these young leaders are shaping a healthier future for Springfield. We can’t wait to see what they do this school year!
