Empowering Volunteers to Conduct a Consumer Survey

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate how trained volunteers can effectively conduct consumer surveys to benefit nonprofit groups and Extension programs.
Employed motivated and trained volunteers for data gathering
Utilized various volunteer groups including 4-H leaders and Master Gardeners
Provided modest Extension training to enhance survey participation
Successful consumer surveys conducted by trained volunteers
Significant improvement in data quality for nonprofit groups
Enhanced delivery methods for Extension programs identified

Abstract

In many situations, motivated and trained volunteers like Master Gardeners could be central to cost-effective data gathering. Older youth and 4-H leaders, Master Recyclers, Master Woodland Managers, Home Study Group Members, and others could be empowered through their innate motivation and a modest amount of Extension training to participate in successful consumer surveys. This could help nonprofit groups we serve and improve our own Extension program delivery methods.
