New: DataHaven Connecticut Youth Advisory Council
We're excited to share open roles and positions for our Youth Advisory Council, the new youth-led advisory group at DataHaven. For the 2025-2026 school year, participants will develop data and research skills while helping their communities and providing advice on our many statewide publications, such as our popular Connecticut Town Equity Reports and Town and Neighborhood Data Viewers.
These postings can be found at ctdatahaven.org/careers, or visit our social media pages to learn more and help us share the call for participants:
- Teaching Fellow (part-time, paid position)
- Student Facilitators (stipend)
- Advisory Council Participants (travel stipend). Council participants are entering grades 9-12 or their first year of college.
Help share the word: The 2025 DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey is underway!
The 8th annual wave of our large statewide survey is underway, with results to be released this fall! Over 53,000 randomly-selected adults in every Connecticut town have participated in interviews, which create local information that isn't available from any other public data source.
If you are selected to receive a phone call, mail package, or message (a text from 860 area code), please participate! Please also help us share this graphic (also posted on our LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook pages) so that neighbors are aware.
