SURVEY RESULTS

We believe that it is important to listen to the voice of those who use ECHO materials, whether they are community members or work for organizations that serve Minnesota's refugee and immigrant communities. To better understand need within the community, we produce and circulate a survey to the community, ECHO partners and stakeholders, other organizations. This helps us to gather information on the types of health, safety, emergency, and civic topics ECHO should pursue funding for in the coming year.
