Why do you want to become a member of Youth 4444 Change?
  "I want to join Youth 4444 Change because I’ve experienced housing instability and I know how hard it is to be a young person without support. I want to help other youth who are going through it. I think my voice can help make systems better. I also want to build confidence and learn how to speak up in meetings. I’m excited to be part of something that’s making a difference."  
Please write between 2 and 8 sentences explaining your reasons.

What challenges do you think young people face today, and how would you like to help address them?
  "I think a lot of young people struggle with mental health and not feeling heard. It’s hard when adults don’t listen or understand what we’re going through. I want to help by speaking up for youth and making sure they know they’re not alone. I’d like to help create safe spaces where youth can talk and get support."  
Please explain in 2 to 8 sentences.  
Do you have any ideas for projects or initiatives that Youth 4444 Change could undertake?

"I think Youth 4444 Change could create care packages with hygiene items and snacks for youth in shelters or on the street. We could also make short videos sharing our stories to help adults understand what youth go through. I’d love to help plan a youth-led event where we speak directly to decision-makers. Another idea is a guide that explains housing programs in simple words so youth know their options."

Please write between 2 and 8 sentences with your ideas.  
*
What skills, talents, or experiences can you contribute to Youth 4444 Change?

I care a lot about making sure youth are included and feel safe. I don’t know everything yet, but I’m a fast learner and I’m excited to grow my skills."  
Please explain in 2 to 8 sentences.  
*
How do you prefer to communicate and collaborate with others?
 "I like to communicate by text or in writing because it gives me time to think about my response. I do well in small group conversations where everyone gets a chance to speak. It helps when people are patient and explain things clearly. I like working with others when there’s a plan and everyone respects different ideas."
