Utah State University has again conducted the Utah Wellbeing Survey. This project helps track residents’ feelings about community wellbeing and issues. In 2024, Millcreek participated for a second time and although the number of residents taking the survey was not as high as we had hoped, there is some very interesting information in the results. 92% of respondents listed air quality as their number one concern with 85% concerned about water supply. ---PAGE BREAK--- A large majority of respondents felt that better public transit, more sidewalks, and protected bike lanes would enhance safety and accessibility. Recreation and nature-based activities include walking or biking in your neighborhood or gardening at home along with recreating in parks. Connection with nature, family life, leisure time, living standards, mental health, physical health, and safety and security were all rated as highly important. Comparing wellbeing across Utah cities, Millcreek was well above the average overall personal wellbeing score and above the average overall community wellbeing score compared to the eight cities of the 1st & 2nd class that participated in the study. You can explore the survey results on the Utah State University website. Millcreek Promise Represented at Young American Leaders Program Each year, United Way forms a Salt Lake City cohort to attend the Young American Leaders Program at Harvard University. This year, Collyn Mosquito, Millcreek Promise Economic Wellbeing Coordinator, was selected to attend. The Salt Lake City cohort determined to develop a youth-led mental health campaign at Cottonwood and West high schools to promote ways to reduce ---PAGE BREAK--- mental health crises and increase social connection. We are excited about this project as many Millcreek students attend Cottonwood High School and some may be helped through the program that is developed by the many skillsets represented by this group. Besides the Millcreek Promise representative, the SLC cohort included Caitlin Schneider, Promise Partnership Utah, Sarah Young, Chief of Staff of the Utah State Board of Education, Hoang Ngyuen, Sapa Investment Group, Nubia Pena, Senior Advisor on Equity and Opportunity with the Governor's Office, Bryant Krongard, Goldman Sachs, Michaela Pratt, Call to Action Foundation, Kiera Schlansky, MD, Christey Thuet, MD Pediatrician, and Shaleane Gee, Zions Bank.
