End of Program Survey

Purpose of this survey

• To gather demographic information for use in outreach and fundraising capacity
• To solicit feedback on our volunteer programs
• To help us identify possible program improvements
• To gather testimonials for outreach and fundraising purposes
• To identify skills and interests of volunteers for future projects

Who takes the survey

This survey would be taken by volunteers at the time they are completing either the Build or Adoption programs. For Adoption, it could be made a regular part of future Adoption Classes. For Build volunteers, we would need to come up with a system to ensure builders have the option to take it.

How it is taken

We are currently using a web-based program called Lime Survey. Currently Tony and Michael are administrators on this and can add additional users. Luiz, Laurel, Sophia and Tony are trained in building surveys.

The major feature this tool provides is branching surveys, where the responses to certain questions will determine which follow-up questions are asked. Responses are stored in a spreadsheet file, and depending on the survey settings, can be either anonymous or not.

Also, LS allows for many different question formats. It's a good idea to look at the [documentation to familiarize yourself with what's available.
