Community Services Interviews
Why Community Interviews?
COVID-19 has impacted our community in so many ways and our partner organizations responded quickly, but didn't have time to ask the community how can we best serve you. With the upcoming school year, increase in unemployment, and an increase in COVID cases we would like to know how our community organizations can design their programs to best serve their community members. Interviews can be performed in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Cantonese. Other languages can also be made possible by emailing jessica@gorhanconsulting.com
What's Involved?
Once you sign up to be interviewed we will contact you to schedule an interview. Interviews can be via phone, Zoom, in person, or independently on paper based on your preference. After your interview you will be entered in a raffle to win one of four $50 Visa Gift Cards. All of your information will remain confidential and will not be tied to you in any way. We will use the information to inform our community partners so they can provide improved services to the community.
