Step 2 of 4

Your young people take part on any phone

You create your own survey links, and every survey adds up to your organization's overall picture. Try it: nothing you tap is saved.

  • Under your name. Young people see Riverbend Youth Network asking, not us.
  • No names, emails or birthdays. Age is a range. Only grouped results are shown, to Riverbend Youth Network too.
  • Works with a bad signal. Answers wait on the phone and send when it's back.
  • Every path counts. Those not yet following Jesus answer their own questions, scored separately.

You're invited to share where you're at.

Riverbend Youth Network (sample) is learning how to walk with young people as they follow Jesus. Your honest answers help. It takes about 8 minutes, and it's anonymous — we never ask for your name.

Your results come in as answers arrive

The same dashboard every ministry gets. Every score shows how many people it's based on, and nothing points to a person.

A starting point for your leaders' conversation, as informed by your results.

Demo reading · invented
  1. 01

    The biggest drop is from Exposure to Response.

    Scores fall by 0.8 here, so start here. Young people reach exposure and stall.

  2. 02

    Follow is their strongest area.

    It scores 3.4 out of 5. Name what's working there and keep it while you change something else.

  3. 03

    Weakest box: “mobilising others”.

    Mission × Multiplication scores 1.9. One concrete practice aimed here gives next season something to measure.

Then “What does this mean?” sends the question, with this view attached, to a Collab facilitator. Next season's survey shows whether the change worked.
