Youth Voice as Community Expertise: Lessons from Rochester's First Youth Co-Design Lab
Rochester's young people already hold expertise about the challenges facing our
community. This summer, a first of its kind Youth Co-Design Lab paid high school
students from Rochester Public Schools and near-peer facilitators from the University
of Minnesota Rochester to put that expertise to work on two real problems: cannabis
and vaping prevention, with Olmsted County Public Health, and pathways into health
tech and med-tech careers, with Destination Medical Center. Over nine weeks, they
interviewed more than 90 peers, family members, and community members inside
their own networks, made sense of what they heard, and built and tested ideas on
real feedback.
