MyVoice

MyVoice MyVoice connects with young people through real-time text message polling. Participants earn gift cards for sharing their voice!

We connect with young people to collect their honest and insightful perspective on health and policy issues impacting them. Policymakers, school boards, community leaders, and the media talk a lot about young people and make laws on behalf of young people, without ever asking what you really think. MyVoice was created to give young people an effective way to share their real-time thoughts and opin

ions on the issues that matter most in their lives. With MyVoice, young people across the United States can sound off on issues that matter today, in our weekly, text message-based polls. We chose text messaging as the way to hear from young people because this fits so easily with their day-to-day lives. Do you know anyone that doesn’t text? MyVoice asks youth to “Tell us what you really think!” to inform policy and practices today.
