Every student's experience matters. The Pennsylvania Youth Survey (PAYS) gives 4th grade students an opportunity to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and anonymous way.

The information collected helps schools and community organizations better understand what children need to be healthy, successful, and supported. When more students participate, we gain a clearer picture of our community's strengths and opportunities for growth.

Together, we're building a brighter future for our children, one voice at a time.
