Dear 4-H Professional,
You are receiving this survey because you may be conducting after-school programs in your role as a 4-H professional. The purpose of this survey is to gain insight into the current level of involvement, roles, and reach 4-H has with after-school programs.
Your participation is voluntary, you can decide to stop at any time, and if there is a question you don't want to answer, you can leave it blank. Your willingness to participate will not have an impact on your participation in 4-H programs. There are no right or wrong answers, so we ask you to answer all questions honestly. We are not asking for your name; your answers are confidential. There are no known risks or immediate benefits to you; however, by participating you will have contributed to a greater understanding of after-school programming in 4-H. There are 15 questions; most of them have multiple choice responses. We estimate that the survey will take about 5 minutes to complete. Please contact us if you have any questions about the survey.
