The new Surrey Youth Vital Signs 2015 study by SurreyCares Foundation leveraged a city-wide opinion survey of youths to inform a broad range of research that identifies issues of relevance for Surrey youth and priority areas to improve their future.
Four hundred youths aged 12-to-24 aided the study and expressed satisfaction with most elements in their city, including growing cultural diversity. 53% of youthful survey respondents said they were satisfied or very satisfied to live in Surrey. However, youths also expressed wishes for improved transit, education and employment to enable more successful transition into adulthood in BC's fastest-growing city.
"SurreyCares is thankful for the involvement and inspiring advice from Surrey youths and partner organizations to identify issues of key relevance to strengthen the futures of youths," said Jeff Hector, Chair, Board of Directors, SurreyCares Foundation.
"Youths' pride in our growing and changing city is encouraging. Their interest in a smoother transition to adulthood by better access to transit, education, employment, housing and engagement will help Surrey families, businesses and organizations to work together to enhance their futures."
