Social Change Effort Project (SCEP) Assessment Plan Assignment

Assessment Plan:

            For our project we will be putting together a workshop on Self-Esteem during Women’s Week at the YWCA. The workshop will be separated into three categories: children, adolescence, and adults. Since these are the target populations we will be doing the workshop for, we have developed a survey for each population in order to better understand their needs and what they would be interested in learning about at a workshop on Self-Esteem. In order to find people to take our surveys, we have gathered together difference resources. In order to make the survey more accessible, we made an electronic version, as well as a hard copy. The YWCA is allowing us to go into the shelter’s cafeteria and ask the residents of the shelters to participate in the survey. This population will be mostly adults, but could include some of the children of the women staying at the shelter. Leslie is able to distribute the survey at her internship, with the permission from her supervisor and the school. Leslie is going to distribute the survey to grades 6^th-8^th. Stephanie is able to distribute the surveys to Guadalupe School grades 3^rd-6^th.  Stephanie was able to translate the survey into Spanish in order to reach a more diverse population. There are no incentives associated with taking the survey. When the surveys are being distributed, each participant will be informed that all information they provide will be confidential. There are going to be at least 20 completed surveys from each category, but we are expecting there to be more than 20. The surveys will all be distributed within the next week or two, in order to get the results back in time for data analysis. Leslie and Stephanie are in charge of distributing the surveys to their schools. Emily, Alexa, Leslie and Stephanie will all be involved in the process of distributing the surveys at the YWCA cafeteria. The analysis of the data will all be split up between the group members. Depending on the amount of surveys we receive from each category, we will divide up each category, as well as quantitative and qualitative questions.
