The recent Participant Survey shows we’re on track, and we’re getting good ideas for improving OASIS.
Last September, 12,000 OASIS participants received surveys asking for their opinions about our programs and how OASIS has impacted their lives. Overall, satisfaction with our classes and volunteer opportunities is strong. Here are some responses from the 5,138 people who responded
Percent of people who said "agree" or
"strongly agree" with these statements:
| My experience at OASIS was intellectually stimulating |
84% |
| My desire to continue learning has increased |
73% |
I gained useful skills or knowledge during my
participation in OASIS |
76% |
I would recommend OASIS to a friend or family
member |
93% |
Many of those responding offered comments, like “It keeps me active, exercises my mind,” and “OASIS is one of the high points of my life.” And there are plenty of good suggestions:
- Some evening classes would be great. How many people in this day are retired at 50?
- I would enjoy more social activities such as lunches in a new restaurant, a bus tour of the wine region, wine tastings and theater.
- Some classes could be longer, for example, genealogy.
We welcome your feedback as well through our online survey!
