Webinar: What Do Youth Want? Results and Applications From the Sacred Heart University National Polls

The University of Washington is a member of AASHE and all members of the UW community can access AASHE resources by signing up with your uw.edu email address. Register here Young people are not only the primary constituents of colleges and universities—they are also the generation that will inherit the pressing sustainability and social justice challenges of our time. But what do today’s youth actually want? How do they perceive these issues? And what do they believe it will take to create meaningful progress? This webinar explores answers to those questions through findings from two national polls conducted by Sacred Heart University (SHU) in 2024 and 2025. These surveys give voice to U.S. youth (ages 15–29) and reveal how their perspectives are already shaping SHU’s curriculum—such as the First-Year Writing Seminar—and informing the development of the new Institute for Sustainability and Social Justice (ISSJ).
