Youth OSS Great Question Bank
The Youth Great Question Bank is a curated collection of dialogue prompts designed to help teens and emerging adults practice respectful, thoughtful conversation — even when topics feel personal, difficult, or emotionally charged.
Organized by theme, these questions invite young people to reflect on lived experience, listen across difference, and engage one another with curiosity and care. The focus is on skill-building, not debate — supporting empathy, communication, and civic awareness.
Use this resource to:
- Guide classroom, advisory, or after-school discussions or small-group dialogue
- Prepare youth for conversations or recordings
- Build conversation skills over time, not just in one session
TIP: Questions can be selected intentionally or drawn in the moment — whether to open a conversation, deepen understanding, or help a group navigate tension respectfully.
