p3 partner survey

Thank you for participating in an interview as part of the National Evaluation of the Performance Partnership Pilots (P3), which is being conducted by Mathematica Policy Research and Social Policy Research Associates under contract to the U.S. Department of Labor. Our discussion will provide input into our understanding of the work that the P3 grantee and its partners have undertaken to improve the experiences and outcomes of disconnected youth in your community.

As you know, P3 seeks to improve youth outcomes, in part, through improved partnerships across entities serving youth within your community. Thus, as a final activity of the interview, we would appreciate it if you could complete the attached survey. All of your responses will remain private and will not be shared with anybody from outside the evaluation team; nobody from the grantee, the community partners, or federal partners will see your responses. However, your responses will help us understand the role of P3 in promoting, developing, and sustaining community partnerships.

Completion of these questions should take no more than 5 minutes. Participation is voluntary, and you can decide not to answer any particular question(s).
