WV 4-H COVID Needs Assessment
West Virginia 4-H needs your help! We want to learn from the COVID pandemic that
will ultimately help the youth we serve. The survey will take approximately 10
minutes to complete. Individuals that complete the needs assessment will be directed
to an opportunity with a chance to win a $50 prize!
The purpose of the West Virginia 4-H COVID Needs Assessment is to identify youth educational, mental health, emotional, and social needs of 4-H youth across West Virginia during the pandemic (2020-2022). The results from this needs assessment will help WVU Extension faculty to identify, develop, and share resources to help address identified needs. It will also inform current and post-pandemic educational delivery. This needs assessment is voluntary, and all responses are anonymous. We thank you for your input.
Complete the needs assessment by April 29, 2022.
