Kentucky Student Voice Team
Organizational Background: The Kentucky Student Voice Team supports students as research, advocacy, and policy partners to improve Kentucky schools. Envisioning a more just and equitable world, in which all school-connected adults are equipped to support students and decisionmakers consult, and codesign, policies and practices with students, KSVT is made up of 100+ self-selected Kentucky students, ages 13-22. Through SCG’s Community-led COVID-19 Recovery Action Accelerator in 2020, KSVT expanded its Coping with COVID student-designed survey from outreach to students to an intergenerational study incorporating the perspectives of caregivers and educators.
Project: The Kentucky Student Voice Team conducted a youth-led research project to identify youth concerns, priorities, and solutions to education inequities and injustice to inform the investment of federal education relief funds. They used quantitative and qualitative data from their Coping with COVID surveys and school climate audits to create a toolkit featuring best practices for capturing student perspectives on ARPA funding.
