The Excel Beyond the Bell Workforce Steering Committee has created a short survey to assess the current status and needs of youth workers in Montgomery County. The survey results will help us create more opportunities for career and professional development for youth workers in our region and will take about five minutes of your time.
Those completing the survey will be entered to win a Kindle Fire.
