VOLUNTEER SURVEY
The program is trying to come up with some new and exciting ways to support our volunteers, and so we’ve developed a survey that will help us identify what
would be most helpful to our ESP’s. Our goal is to eventually obtain a grant to help provide our volunteers with incentives, supplies and support, and every
response we get increases our chances of getting you the things you deserve. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to return the survey.
