I am working with YMCA of the Twin Tiers to help conduct a local community needs assessment, and I would like your input. 

To design future programs and services focused on the community, the Y would like to hear from the greater Bradford community and our surrounding areas. I have agreed to distribute this survey on the Y's behalf, and I would encourage you to forward it along to your contacts as well. 

Based on the results of this community needs assessment, the Y, in partnership with others, will work to address critical issues in the areas of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

This link will take you to a short online survey. Survey responses are not individually tracked and are kept confidential. The assessment should take no more than three minutes to complete, and the results will be compiled into an executive summary for the Y volunteers and staff to use in their strategic planning process.
Should you have any questions, please contact Jeff Townsend, YMCA of the Twin Tiers CEO by email at [email protected]
