Anonymous User just submitted the survey Teen Services Questionnaire with the responses below. 

Which of the following best describes you?

I am another type of community member 

________________________________

What is your relationship to current or future teens in Redmond?

I am a neighbor and community member invested in teen well-being 
I used to use, receive, or participate in Redmond teen services 
Other (fill in) - Business owner in Redmond that would not be a business owner without the tools and resources that the teen center provided me. 


________________________________

What are the top three needs that City teen services should address for Redmond teens?

A safe and supportive environment 
A space to create or practice music and art 
A place to have fun and relax 


________________________________

Are you connected with any Redmond schools? If so, which ones?

 Select all that apply.

Redmond High School 


________________________________

What are the top three improvements you would like to see from City teen services?

Services offered in locations that I can get to more easily 
Services and programs that are more accessible to my needs and abilities (i.e., adaptive recreation) 
More basic needs met through City teen services (i.e., food) 


________________________________

In your own words, how can the City address these needs?

Provide an environment that fosters creativity in an accessible location for those who utilize the services. Removing teen programs from centralized downtown Redmond to Southeast Redmond would be a detriment to the future of Redmond teens. 

________________________________

Is there anything else you would like to share with us about City teen services or programming?

With so many new buildings going up in Redmond, it is important to honor the history and vibrancy of spaces that are different than the ones that already hold spaces for other participants in the community. Teens need their own place, with a unique identity, where they can feel welcomed and encouraged to be truly themselves, which only aids in building a strong and colorful community. Redmond teens need space to create artwork, get messy, interact outdoor outdoors, experiment with learning new instruments, performing in a space that appreciates the alternatives, and a space to record music. Redmond’s need a hub that they can feel is truly theirs. If the city of Redmond does not invest in retrofitting the old firehouse, they at least deserve a huge say in what spaces they contemporarily and permanently occupy. As someone who attended the firehouse throughout junior high and high school, and then moved on to working for the firehouse as a program leader throughout college at the University of Washington, and continues to support initiatives that the teen center offers, while simultaneously running a $15 million business based in the city of Redmond, I feel confident that my opinion, as well as all of the other current and past teens of the firehouse deserve a say in the future of teen services and the old firehouse facility moving forward.
