"Whenever it comes to making policies and improvements to active transportation structures, sidewalks, crosswalks, that kind of thing, youth are usually not involved in that conversation, so we really want to hear what they have to say about their needs and their wants and also their potential struggles that they are having currently," said Bri Buzzard, creating health communities coordinator.

Surveys will be distributed to schools as well as future events in Allen County.
