What people are saying...
“Using Springtide’s research to inform and guide how we approach our work has been a game-changer for the center and the students we serve.”
“Having Springtide join our event in person made tangible and digestible the research and data we've long used in our programs. We were especially grateful to have the opportunity to hear reflections from Springtide's Ambassadors, as well as our own youth stakeholders, on their personal perspectives and experiences.”
“Knowing that young people’s voices actually drive the research adds such meaning as I write. Not enough research data about young people actually engage their voices. A huge win for Springtide!”
“When we have questions about the current statistical data for youth ministry today, publications from Springtide Research Institute are the go-to resource for our office. The researchers and analysts as Springtide ask excellent questions—often before we even think of them—and provide avenues for deep reflection and possible next steps. We remain very grateful for their contributions to this field.”
“As a parent of 2 young teens, an employee of a church and a person who is concerned about the mental health of my community, this report has been a sobering but very helpful tool to understand the current scenario our children and youth are growing up in. I have used some of the data in grant proposals as well. Thank you for this all of the effort and resources that went into this research and report!”
