Circles Demographic Survey

Access the form here

This form is meant to be completed once annually in January by all members of the Circles community including Circle Leaders, Allies, Staff, and Volunteers.  The data you provide will help us understand more about the people in the Circles community.

Ally/Staff/Volunteer Registration

Access the form here

All current staff/volunteers/allies will complete the registration form at one time as decided by the chapter. Subsequent additional staff/volunteers/allies will complete upon entry.

This data serves two purposes for Circles USA and its chapters. First, data captured at the beginning of an Ally/Staff/Volunteer’s time at Circles serves as baseline against which we can measure growth and empowerment over time. Second, this registration form may capture new information about the staff, Ally, or volunteer that wasn't known before, such as an Ally’s level of prior volunteer experience. At both national and chapter levels, we hope to measure how Circles USA positively impacts Allies, Staff, and Volunteers.

Ally/ Volunteer/ Staff Progress Report

Access the form here

This form is meant to be completed every 6-months aligned with the timing for Circle Leader Progress Reports.

This experiential data gives Circles USA insight into how Allies, Staff, and Volunteers may change over the course of their time at Circles. This data helps us answer questions such as: Do Allies’ beliefs about poverty change as they develop relationships with Circle Leaders? Do Allies become more empowered to fight poverty in their communities? The progress report also lets Circles USA collect open-ended feedback from Allies about their successes, ideas, and areas where Circles can improve.
