What is Youth Data Lab?

Youth Data Lab is an open data portal powered by Youthful Cities. The platform provides valuable, actionable insights for policy makers, organizations, and individuals.

Youth Data Lab amplifies the voices of young people through over 4000 youth survey responses, 20,000 minutes of youth interviews, and 25,000 quantitative data points covering 65 Canadian cities and 23 topics.

The platform offers easy access to reliable data and expertise, enabling data-driven decision-making for effective youth-focused policies, programs, and campaigns. Youthful Cities supports these solutions by encouraging collaboration among and with young people in a think-and-do tank model to analyze data from Youth Data Lab and initiate local projects.
