Youth Connection | Mission Possible: Survey Collection

After months of planning and numerous edits, Bellevue Youth Link Board rolled out the first wave of its survey online via Survey Monkey.

Bellevue Youth Link members also visited various hubs in the Bellevue community to gather data on the ideal direction the program should take toward addressing youth concerns. Volunteers gathered responses at the Jubilee Reach Center, the Magic Season Ice Rink, Bellevue Square Mall, Crossroads Mall, Bellevue Youth Theatre, and Crossroads Community Center. Surveys were also distributed to schools in the Bellevue School District.

During this process, Bellevue Youth Link has successfully distributed and collected over 1,700 surveys, well over the initial goal of 1,000. This month, the Bellevue Youth Board has been preparing to present to the Bellevue Youth Council an updated charge and new goals for the next few years based upon these gathered community opinions.

If you would like to give your take on community programs, there is still time to fill out a survey. You can take it at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/youthlink.
