Share your feedback: Youth Violence Prevention Plan

The School District of Lancaster and the City of Lancaster are developing a Youth Violence Prevention Plan, and input from our community is important to making it meaningful and effective.

If you live or work in Lancaster City, please take a few minutes to complete the Youth Violence Prevention Survey.

Your feedback will help the city better understand our community’s strengths, challenges, and opportunities so we can build strategies and partnerships that support young people and create safer, healthier neighborhoods.

This survey only takes a few minutes, and your answers are anonymous if you want them to be. Responses will only be used to inform community planning and engagement around youth violence prevention.

Enter your email at the end for a chance to win a $25 gift card! Emails are kept separately from survey responses.
