Brooklyn Bridge Alliance for Youth Parent Outreach Survey Part I: Part I of our survey will help us gain insight into how parents in our community hear about out of school programs for youth in 6-12th grade, what the possible barriers are for youth participation, as well as learn about how much support parents feel from their immediate and broader communities. Part II:The goal of Part II is to familiarize and get feedback from parents on Brooklynsconnect.org, which was created to be an easy to use one stop shop where parents, youth, teachers, and community members can search for and find quality local youth programs. Youth program: Any structured activity in a supportive and safe environment where youth are engaged and interacting with their peers. Out of school programming: Any program a youth participates in outside of the school day including programs that are before and after school, at night, on weekends, during breaks, and in the summer.
