As of January 2026, Mountain Youth coordinated the administration of the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey for the eleventh time over a sixteen-year span. Partnering with 12 public and private schools, nearly 3,000 students were surveyed, providing valuable insight about 6th -12th graders in the Eagle River Valley. This insight allows educators, nonprofit leaders, policymakers, and community program providers to keep a pulse on the behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions of young people in the community.

 

This data is used to steer programming and secure much-needed resources, helping local and statewide policy efforts by utilizing the identified strengths and barriers facing youth. HKCS data helps bring in millions of dollars annually for community partners to support identified needs.
