In August 2024, youth volunteers participated in a survey and essay call regarding several programs in the youth-serving special needs community, sponsored by the Light and Salt Association. The survey included 20 questions seeking volunteers’ feedback and evaluations on various aspects of these programs. The essays primarily focused on the volunteers’ experiences serving the special needs community and the impact on their mental health and well-being. The survey and essays provided valuable data for the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, which funded the project.
