Alliance for Girls Survey of Members & Girls’ Champions*

Please take 20-25 minutes to help us learn more about you and your organization's experience with Alliance for Girls (AFG) since late 2020. Your responses will be kept confidential and will be used to help AFG improve our programming and services.

Note that the questions in this survey are asking for you to recall how your relationship with AFG has impacted you and your organization since December 2020. For members and partners that joined AFG after December 2020, please answer the questions below based on your overall experience with AFG since becoming a member or partner.

If you are representing an organization (e.g., nonprofit, school/district, business, government agency), we encourage you to work with your colleagues to answer the survey. Please submit one survey on behalf of the organization’s/staff’s overall AFG experience.

Once you complete the survey, you’ll be entered in a drawing for one of five $100 gift cards to Target or one of two free Alliance for Girls annual memberships! If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Miari Stephens at miari@alliance4girls.org. Thank you for your valuable time and input!
