Year 1 (2023) and Year 2 (2024)

This study launched in April 2023, which was Year 1.

In Year 1, over 4,000 youth agreed to participate in the study. During Year 2, over half these individuals completed the follow-up survey!

For those participants who completed the Year 2 survey:

  • 89% are enrolled in school
  • 68% are volunteering their time
  • 29% are working
  • 24% participate in community activities

As you can see on the infographic below, participation in the Year 2 survey included individuals from all across Canada!

Year 3 (2025)

In the third year of the study, we will be emailing all participants who were registered in Year 1 (who completed the Year 1 survey in 2023), to complete the Year 3 survey.

If you do not receive emails from us between May and August 2025, this means we no longer have your up-to-date contact information.

Click here to update your contact information and we will forward you a link to the Year 3 survey.

NOTE: to ensure that you are who you say you are, we will need to know some information about you, including your name, your date of birth and the email you used to complete the Year 1 survey. This information will used only to verify that you are a legitimate study participant.

Year 4 (2026) and 5 (2027)

In each of the subsequent study years (Years 4 and 5), participants who registered in Year 1 (2023) will be invited to complete a survey. We will provide annual updates on this page: we'll present some of the survey findings (in aggregate) so that you can see the results of your participation.

Don't worry! We will never present your feedback in a way that could identify you. We group everyone's feedback together, and make sure it is completely anonymous (de-identified), before we report it. Our Privacy page provides more detailed information about our Privacy and Confidentiality policies.
