SUSTAIN THE MOMENTUM

Tools

Gathering input from the young people and families served by your program can help you better understand their experience. This Sample Youth Satisfaction Survey from Beyond the Bell is a great place to start.

Once you have survey data, you can use that to inform program improvements. This Self-Guided Single Data Set Reflection from Ignite Afterschool’s M(3) CPI takes you through that process step-by-step.

And when summer comes to an end, be sure to take a step back and reflect on your program experience. Use the Reflection Tool from 21st CCLC’s Best Summer Ever! Learning Hub as a guide.
