Community Assessment Survey

Khmer Girls in Action is currently in the process of developing a Fall campaign. This summer, kga has created a community assessment project where our members create surveys and interview youth ages 14-21, people of color, living in the Long Beach community, trying to identify issues and problems people see in the community.
We are going around surveying people in the community and asking them what problems they see. We then take those issues and figure out which ones affect us most in different ways, so that we can create a campaign out of it. We want the community's input because we are the ones living in the disparities (problems) and are struggling through this. It is an opportunity for us to step up and say we are not going to settle for what is here, and that we want more, so we are here to create change, and better our community.

Please help kga by filling out this survey. Thank you for taking the time to do so and please try to answer as many questions as you can. Have a nice day

2. Why do you think this is happening in our community?
