Appendix 4: Community Organizer Survey

This survey is sent digitally to participating community organizers to share their experience and provide feedback. This survey can be distributed following the end of summer when all the events are finished, as well as sent on a rolling basis to community organizers immediately following their event. To receive as many responses as possible we typically send out a reminder or two, about the survey.
