Subject: Evaluation of YCC Survey!

Dear [Participant Name],

Thank you for agreeing to participate in the Evaluation of Youth CareerConnect (YCC) in [RA MONTH AND YEAR]! This is a national study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and is being conducted by researchers at Mathematica Policy Research and Social Policy Research Associates. This important study will help DOL learn more about how high schools can help young people succeed during and after high school. We would like you to complete a survey about your experience in high school so that we can learn from you what works and what might need to change.

When you signed up to be a part of the study, you learned that we would contact you to take part in a survey. It is now time to invite you to participate in that survey. The survey will ask about your experiences in school, courses you have taken, your behavior in school, activities, and plans for future education. Your participation is voluntary and you can skip any questions you do not want to answer. We hope that you will participate and answer as many questions as possible. We will keep your answers private to the fullest extent under the law.

If you complete the survey within the next four weeks you will receive a gift card worth $40 as a thank you gift for your participation. If you complete the survey after that time, you will receive a gift card worth $25. The gift card can be used anywhere that credit or debit cards are accepted. You will be mailed the gift card once you complete the survey, so please log-in and complete the survey today!

Please click on the link to complete your survey as soon as possible:
