E-mail Transmittal Script and Instructions

Dear Grantee,

Thank you for your continued collaboration on the 2019 Youth Listening Sessions (YLS). The Office of Adolescent Health’s (OAH) primary goals for this project are to (1) increase grantees’ intent and capacity for systematically soliciting and incorporating youth feedback, and to (2) strengthen OAH’s understanding of various strategies for youth voice, apply lessons learned to inform OAH initiatives, and educate and empower partners in meaningful youth engagement.

You have received this survey because you are considered the “lead” on this project at your organization. The purpose of this survey is to assess your experience and satisfaction with the YLS project as well as the satisfaction with the support received from OAH staff and contractors. OAH plans to use the results of the survey for continuous quality improvement efforts, especially as it pertains to improving youth engagement efforts in OAH activities. We ask that only one person from each participating organization provide feedback on the survey. To provide your feedback, please visit: [INSERT LINK]. The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. If you have questions about this survey, please email Elizabeth Laferriere at [email protected] Please submit your responses by [DATE/TIME]. Thank you for your participation.
