Built by students who
believe Folsom can listen better.
Voices of Folsom is a small, student-led project with a big belief: that the people who live in a city are its best source of ideas — if someone makes it easy to be heard.
A friendlier way to share what your city needs
Instead of long surveys or crowded meetings, Voices of Folsom turns local improvements into quick, thoughtful questions. Answer a few and you help paint a clear picture of what Folsom cares about most.
Good ideas shouldn't need a microphone
Plenty of residents have great ideas but never enough time to attend a council meeting. We wanted a way for every voice — busy parents, students, seniors — to count, without the friction.
From a quick tap to a clear priority
- 01
We ask one clear question
Each idea becomes a short, focused question — no jargon, no 40-question survey.
- 02
Residents weigh in
Neighbors choose what matters most and how urgent it feels, in under a minute.
- 03
Answers become priorities
We group responses into honest, shared themes anyone can read and understand.
- 04
Priorities invite action
Clear signals make it easier for the community and its leaders to act with confidence.
Built to be trusted
Sharing your voice should never feel risky. These principles guide everything we build.
Anonymous by default
Results are shown as community-wide patterns, never tied to an individual.
Only what's needed
We ask for the minimum to keep things fair — and nothing is sold, ever.
Yours to leave
Choose how you hear from us, and step away in a single tap whenever you like.
