Youth Engagement
Youth Engagement Partnership/Program Summary
Planning and Development staff is partnering with Arizona State University to lead the
Youth Engagement efforts to solicit input for the 2025 General Plan. The City and ASU
are implementing a plan that will focus on nine (9) 5th through 8th grade classrooms,
representing each of the eight City Council Districts plus a school selected by the Mayor. The
workshops aim to gather input and a youth perspective on the vision for Phoenix.
Students from ASU’s “School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning Master of Urban
and Environmental Planning Program” will present the ideas generated in the workshops at
the City’s October 2023 Summit, with many of the ideas to potentially be incorporated into
the finalized General Plan.
