Worker Survey
We surveyed our communities to better understand worker needs. We collected over 200 responses. This information will help shape the programs we provide. All individual responses will be held strictly confidential. We appreciate your opinion and your time and trust! If you would like for our Director to come and speak about the results to your group, then please contact Jason Myers.
