2024 Hawaiʻi County Youth Commission Survey
Aloha! In this 2024 Hawaiʻi County Youth Commission Survey, we are reaching out to the
youth of the County of Hawaiʻi in order to better understand the concerns that they have and
what issues they feel we as the Youth Commission should focus on. Within this survey, we are
looking to capture both specific issues and broad goals in which the youth feel that the Youth
Commission should not only be aware of, but work towards creating, understanding, and making
better within our County. All surveys sent in will be used as guidance for the Youth
Commission, and may be used to help us create resolutions, testimony, projects, and campaigns.
Do not include your name or other personally identifying answers in this survey. All
answers will be kept confidential, and any answers that may lead one to identify any individual
specifically will be removed or redacted from any responses before providing the survey to the
Youth Commissioners. The information collected from this survey is not for the purpose of
making information available to the general public and is for the Youth Commission’s use only.
