We Want To Hear From You

High School Juniors & Seniors are invited to take part in a focus group discussion on a range of things that matter to young people. Get rewarded for your opinions!

What is a focus group?  A focus group is an engaging, interactive, confidential discussion where a small number of Juniors or Seniors share their honest opinions, insights, and experiences on a specific topic. Groups will last 60 minutes and have about 8 to 10 participants. It's a conversation with a purpose!

Why participate?
