PROMPTS
K-5TH GRADE PROMPT:
How do you use your voice to help others? Have you ever helped a friend feel brave? What’s an example or a skill you can teach other kids about being a leader? Do you have a story about speaking up for someone who didn’t feel comfortable
speaking for themselves? Tell us some ways kids can use their voice to help Orange County kids and families.
6TH-12TH GRADE PROMPT:
Youth and young people are change agents and leaders. What are some ways governments, schools and/or communities can elevate the voices of young people? What are your ideas for making sure kids and young leaders can make an impact
in decision-making processes? For example, kids can’t vote in federal or state elections but they can still make an impact. Tell us why it’s important for our public institutions to hear from K-12 students in Orange County.
