Power of You(th) data

After conducting our Power of You(th) Program on the Eastern half of Missouri, we would hand out an anonymous survey to those participants in grades 8-12.  We have been conducting this survey for the past 10 months and have reached many different students since then.  Collecting this data assists us in shaping our program to benefit our direct population in the best way possible.  We also like to provide this data to our grantors so they gather a better understanding of how we all are impacting and shaping our youth for the better.  Below you will find our data presented in pie charts for many different questions we have asked.  Due to the survey being a paper survey, these students are not forced into answering these questions and may choose to leave some answers blank.  Because of this, you may find that not all pie charts equal up to the perfect 100%.
