Governance Framework

The Youth Data Hub is guided by a governance structure that centers youth safety, shared responsibility, and community voice. Three core partners work together to ensure the Hub is ethical, privacy-safe, and driven by young people and families.

Who Makes the Youth Data Hub Possible?

The Hub is supported by a governance model that brings together public agencies, youth-serving organizations, technical partners, and young people. Each group plays a unique role to ensure data is used responsibly and in service of New Orleans youth.
