Abstract: The primary purpose of the AmeriCorps' Member Feedback Survey is to provide reliable and valid outcome data on members' AmeriCorps experience. As part of this effort, all exiting AmeriCorps members are surveyed regarding their service experience with AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps VISTA, and the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps' (NCCC). Information captured in these surveys helps inform policy decisions and the management of AmeriCorps' National Service Programs, as well as help guide the development of the support provided to members and national service organizations
