Census invitations went out March 12-20.
This corresponds with many literacy program closings.
Here are tips to make sure our learners are counted:
- Call your learners
- utilize staff and volunteer time freed up by cancelled lessons
ask if learners received an envelope - address any questions they may have
- utilize staff and volunteer time freed up by cancelled lessons
- Prioritize Census completion as soon as you are meeting again
- encourage learners to complete the census before visits start
- Census workers are scheduled to visit homes from May-July
- Set up Census stations
- have computers and staff/volunteers available at your location for Census completion when programming resumes (staff and volunteers cannot help or watch the completion of the form)
