Dear Community Member,
The California State University, Dominguez Hills Center for Service Learning, Internships, and Civic Engagement (SLICE) is requesting your participation in our online Community Needs Assessment Survey.
The survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes of your time. The data obtained through the survey will provide SLICE with important information about:
- community needs in the areas of food security, housing/shelter, and financial literacy;
- existing services in the community that currently meet these needs
- suggestions about how the university-community partnership might help in meeting these needs.
