Dear [Participant Name],

I am writing you because our records show that you haven’t completed your survey for the Evaluation of Youth CareerConnect (YCC). 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 and we would really like to hear from you.

This is your chance to make a difference! Your answers will help DOL learn more about how high schools can help young people succeed after high school.
