Abstract |
Documenting the impact of community-based programs is increasingly important during this time of competitive resource allocation, fiscal responsibility, and shift in human resource commitment. The Ohio Teen B.R.I.D.G.E.S. program, operating under the auspices of Ohio State University Extension, developed a holistic plan for collecting both qualitative and quantitative data to document program impacts. This paper reports the findings of focus group interviews conducted with youth and adult volunteers and/or collaborators. Six themes were identified from the data collected, three related to youth participants and volunteers, and three related to adult volunteers and collaborators. |
