DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE DRAFT TEEN SURVEY FOR DISTRIBUTION TO LOCAL TEENS
end
BACKGROUND
At the Youth Commission’s (Commission) meeting on November 7, 2024, the Commission created a Teen Survey Subcommittee (Subcommittee) that was tasked with developing a survey for distribution to local teens to gain input on current issues, desires for programs and activities, amenities at the Perry Park Teen Center, and more. Staff and the Subcommittee have developed a draft of the survey and would like to have the Commission provide input prior to its distribution.
Included as an attachment is the draft survey. The questions were developed to allow insight for each of the Commission’s active subcommittees as well as general information that could be helpful for the Commission as a whole. One of the comments received from the Subcommittee is that there should be between 20-25 questions in the survey so that the data is comprehensive and helpful to inform a wide variety of programs and services. The draft survey includes 16 questions with four of them being demographic questions. Additionally, there was a preference for having the question responses be multiple choice, whenever feasible, to make the survey as simple to complete as possible.
Staff is asking the Commission to review and consider the draft survey and provide input so that the survey can be distributed throughout the month of December. Following this meeting, the Subcommittee will determine the distribution plan for the survey; any additional input from the Commission related to distribution options is also welcomed.
