Both religious and non-religious youth say that they have experienced a sacred moment. We found 29% of young atheists, 39% of young agnostics, and 40% of young people who identify as “nothing in particular” say they have experienced a sacred moment. Read: buff.ly/qV98iAF
Springtide data find that most young people say they have experienced sacred moments. Over half (55%) of young people report having experienced a sacred moment. Keep reading: buff.ly/qV98iAF
When it comes to religious service attendance, half of Latina/o youth report rarely (28%) or never (20%) attending religious services. Twenty-one percent attend a few times a year, while 12% attend once or twice a month. Keep reading: buff.ly/z7Cx4Y1
Most Latina/o young people believe in a higher power. In fact, nearly 4 in 10 (39%) tell us they know a higher power exists and have no doubts about it. Get more data on the beliefs of Latina/o young people: buff.ly/z7Cx4Y1
The majority of Latina/o teens and young adults identify with a Christian tradition (64%). Most commonly, Latina/o young people identify as Catholic (37%) followed by “Just Christian” (23%). Keep reading: buff.ly/z7Cx4Y1
What does religion and spirituality look like for today’s US Latina/o youth? Springtide data show that about three-quarters of Latina/o young people surveyed identify as at least slightly religious (77%) or spiritual (79%). Read more about Latina/o youth: buff.ly/yGoiOHV
The Voices of Young People Podcast is now 13 to 25: Research and Conversation—and we’re excited to announce a new season! In anticipation of our new season and to celebrate the update to our name, we added all our past episodes to Springtide’s YouTube: buff.ly/is74bOL
Springtide’s custom research solutions turn our experts into your in-house team, ready to tackle your biggest questions about 13–25-year-olds and the trusted adults who serve them. Start a conversation: buff.ly/zjLh6ta
Young people want trusted adults who can support them. On our blog, find questions to assess your own readiness to support young people as they navigate uncertainty and make sense of the world around them. Read it here: buff.ly/HvMRssh
Our research finds: 86% of female teens and 84% of male teens report some level of belief, while 8% of male teens and 6% of female teens say that they do not believe in a higher power. Learn more: buff.ly/m43nkhx
While there are no significant gender differences in teens’ self-reported religiousness, a larger portion of female teens say that they are “slightly,” “moderately,” or “very” spiritual (83%), as compared to male teens (76%). Get more data: buff.ly/m43nkhx
Our research finds that male and female teens attend religious services at the same rates. Nearly identical portions of male (28%) and female (27%) teens say they attend religious services at least once a week. Learn more: buff.ly/m43nkhx
In our latest report, we explore the complex dynamics that shape young people’s civic care. We invited our Research Advisory Board to reflect on snapshots of our data and suggest how trusted adults might apply these learnings. Read their reflections: buff.ly/a389P68
Loneliness among young people changes with age, but it also differs by gender. At some ages, girls report feeling lonelier than boys, while at other ages the difference is smaller or even reversed. Learn more: buff.ly/PPZSviZ
Are young adults lonelier than teenagers? Our research finds that less than half (42%) of 13-17-year-olds say they lack companionship "some of the time" or "often." This increases by over 20 percentage points for 18-25-year-olds. Read more: buff.ly/PPZSviZ
Data from Springtide reveal over two-thirds (64%) of 13-17-year-olds agree or strongly agree that their relationships are supportive and rewarding. This declines to 45% for 18–21-year-olds and 46% for 22–25-year-olds. Get more data on age and loneliness: buff.ly/PQJtp8g
While race or ethnicity feels like an important identity to many, both white and BIPOC 13-year-olds most often choose “just an American” to describe themselves. Read more about Gen Alpha and identity: buff.ly/qfLMmcO
What is the single best practice / initiative you've offered in 2025 to connect with young people in your setting? Tell us in 100 words or less: buff.ly/Jv7lumn We may feature your input in a future email, blog post, or social media. Deadline to submit is July 6, 2025.
Seventy-seven percent of all 13-year-olds say that race or ethnicity is at least slightly important in describing who they are. Among BIPOC respondents, 91% consider race or ethnicity to be at least slightly important. Keep reading: buff.ly/qfLMmcO
Political conversations can cause tension—particularly between generations. Whether it’s in conversation with a stranger or family member, many young people report feeling unheard when discussing civic life. Yet, young people still want to talk. Read: buff.ly/p5JzxBW
