Share Your Thoughts! Public Input Sought for Two Departmental Surveys
By: Orange County Communications Department
Orange County is encouraging residents to participate in two currently available surveys that will help inform future goals for some of our departments. The Office on Youth Needs Assessment survey launched on September 23 and seeks public input regarding current service gaps in Orange County related to topics like mentoring, health care, safety education, life skills, literacy, parenting, and more. In addition to learning about desired programming, the Needs Assessment will also help identify obstacles to service availability. Find it at www.orangecountyva.gov/ooyneeds.
The Parks & Recreation Community Survey became available on October 5. Offered by the department with support from the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee, it provides an opportunity for residents, program participants, and park patrons to provide information about what they view as priorities for future Parks & Recreation development in Orange County. Topics include program preferences, athletic field needs, recreation center interest, and much more. This survey is available at www.orangecountyva.gov/ocprsurvey.
Please be aware that while the two surveys may overlap on youth-related topics, each is a distinct opportunity for public input. Those interested are encouraged to complete both surveys. More information is available by contacting the departments hosting the surveys at the numbers listed below.
