Directions for Using the Direct Beneficiary Survey

This survey is for people who directly received benefit from your service learning project. Projects with direct beneficiaries would include such things as tutoring, helping the elderly, educational classes, or any project during which 4-H'ers have one-on-one contact with those being served. Adults (agents and volunteer leaders) working with the project should also complete this survey.

This survey should be given immediately after the service project is completed. Please try to collect at least 10 surveys.

There is a line near the top of the form labeled "Project." Before giving out the surveys, fill in a name for your project, such as "Senior Center computer classes" or "Clover County Jr. Master Gardeners."

You may add questions that you require for your own programming needs. However, be sure not to alter the questions already on the survey, as they will enable the 4-H service learning evaluators to uniformly evaluate service efforts across Tennessee.

The evaluation team will use the surveys in the impact study of 4-H service learning. Send your surveys to the state 4-H office, so that they may be forwarded to the program evaluators.

2621 Morgan Circle, 205 Morgan Hall
Knoxville, TN 37996-4510

Before sending the surveys, you can average together the responses to #7 and #8 to answer the Service Learning Activity Report Form question #9.

Direct questions to Lori Jean Mantooth at Lmantoo1@utk.edu or 865-974-2128.

For projects giving indirect service to beneficiaries, please use the Indirect Beneficiary Survey. These beneficiaries would include such people as visitors to parks, museums, libraries, or other public places in which you do service.
