OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Personal Responsibility Education
Program (PREP) Grantee Topical Training Feedback Survey
PURPOSE: The Family and Youth Services Bureau’s (FYSB) Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) grantees (State PREP, Tribal PREP, Competitive PREP, PREIS) are required to participate in a topical training to build their skills and capacity to deliver PREP programming to youth. The purpose of the proposed survey is to collect grantee feedback on this PREP in-person topical training which will be conducted in April 2024. The survey is necessary to capture perspectives and experiences with the training. The information collected will enable us to improve the quality of trainings and will inform the development of future training and technical assistance opportunities, including topical trainings.
