B You Facilitator Mid-Way Check-In Survey

Thank you SO much for taking the time to fill this out. This survey will help us to gain a better understanding of how your groups are running, and will allow us to see any gaps in the program that we can bridge as we move forward in your sessions. The more details you share, and the more honest you are, the better I can help to make B You as fun and easy-going for you as possible.

Midway check in: conditions for a safe & quality program

Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability. You do not need to answer ALL of the prompts, they are only meant to spark your thinking.
What activities have your group done (no need to list all, a few examples will do)? Are activities safe for all match members? How is the variety? Is everyone having opportunities to use voice and choice?
Is attendance consistent? Do you get the sense that your mentees feel they can rely on you?
How connected is your group? What could you do to increase feelings of connection (if applicable)? Is your group growing closer as the weeks go on? How clear are everyone's boundaries?
How much input do your mentees have in activities and discussions? Is there a balance between everyone's speaking time? Is anyone monopolizing the conversations? How can we ensure, moving forward, that this group is operating in a youth-centered manner? In other words, how can we make sure it's a level playing field for all mentees?
How much structure is present in your group meetings? Are you working towards any goals together, individually or as a group?
Are you happy with the length of your sessions and the duration of the program season? In other words, how do you feel about the amount of time you have with your mentees? What were your expectations at the beginning of your group meetings? Were those expectations communicated, and are they being met? If not, how can we improve that?
Please let me know if you would like me to follow up with you regarding these challenges. Note: I am unable to communicate with your co-facilitators on your behalf unless absolutely necessary. I can work with you to formulate your thoughts as needed, but please do your best to communicate with your team to iron out any issues. If this does not work, I will happily step in and facilitate a conversation. Remember, addressing challenges with a team is a great learning opportunity!
