  • Demographics

  • We hope to learn:

    1. Whether diverse subsets of the population are represented among our volunteers.

    2.  If we're missing any opportunities to engage with potential volunteers, and how to connect with prospective BIPOC volunteers.

    3.  What we might do better.

    How:

    We have modeled the following demographic questions after the 2020 census, so that we can compare our volunteer makeup with publicly-available population data.

    Notes:

    Please answer both the question about Latinx origin and the question about race.  This survey considers Latinx background to be an ethnicity, rather than a race.

  • Are you Hispanic, Latino/a, or of Spanish origin? (One or more categories may be selected).*
  • What is your race? (One or more categories may be selected).*
