Most research institutions study young people from a distance—through outdated surveys, rigid academic frameworks, and secondhand analysis. The Kokosing Institute takes a different approach. We build research directly from within the generation we study, recruiting high school and university students as research ambassadors who collect real-time insights on digital behavior, financial trends, and emerging social issues. Instead of static reports that lag behind reality, we produce dynamic, actionable research that captures the way young people actually experience AI, finance, and media. Our work isn’t just about data—it’s about influence, shaping public discourse, and driving conversations in the places that matter.
