2017 AmeriCorps MES: AmeriCorps Member Exit Survey

Upon exiting service, AmeriCorps members are invited to complete the AmeriCorps Member Exit Survey (AmeriCorps MES) to provide information on their service experiences. By collecting data on member experiences, AmeriCorps and its partners can better understand how to support its members, while individuals interested in becoming a member can see the benefits of serving. Members that leave service after completing their full term or members that depart from service early both complete the exit survey. The data includes information on members’ civic-mindedness, community involvement, cultural competency, and developed life and career skills (based on the AmeriCorps Member Theory of Change). As well as measures of members’ experience and training, motivations to serve, and post-service plans. Any data on members that started prior to them turning 18 years of age is excluded from this data. Since the start of the MES in 2015, there have been over 360,000 respondents. In 2017, 50,173 surveys were completed out of 64,825, for a completion rate of 77%.

The dataset displays the decimal percentages of members in each program that answered with the two most positive selections of each question’s available options. For example, the available answers for Question 12 are: ‘Much less likely, Somewhat less likely, No effect, Somewhat more likely, and Much more likely’. The data selected for Question 12 thus displays the percentage of members that responded with ‘Somewhat more likely or Much more likely’, therein providing the percentage of individuals who responded favorably to the question. Please access the AmeriCorps MES Data Dictionary file in the Attachments section under About This Dataset for more information.

To note: some members begin the survey, complete only a selection of the survey, and never finish the survey after starting. The responses of members that do not finish the survey are included in the calculations of proportions in the 2017 MES table. As a result, the total number of individuals answering each question of the MES varies question to question, though the number of partially finished surveys represent a fairly small portion of the total overall number of surveys given out in a given timeframe. The total number of finished surveys, partially completed surveys, and surveys that were never started can be found in the attachments section under "MES 2017 Total Counts".

AmeriCorps 项目成员在服务结束后，被邀请完成 AmeriCorps 项目成员离岗调查（简称 AmeriCorps MES），以提供关于其服务经历的信息。通过收集成员经历的数据，AmeriCorps 及其合作伙伴能够更好地理解如何支持其成员，同时对于有兴趣成为成员的个人来说，可以了解到服务的益处。无论是完成规定期限服务后离岗的成员，还是提前离岗的成员，都必须完成离岗调查。数据包括成员的公民意识、社区参与度、文化适应能力以及培养的生活和职业技能（基于 AmeriCorps 项目成员变革理论）。此外，还包括对成员经历和培训、服务动机以及离岗计划等方面的衡量。排除在此数据中任何关于在18岁之前开始服务的成员的数据。自 2015 年 MES 开始以来，已有超过 360,000 人参与调查。2017 年，在 64,825 份调查中完成了 50,173 份，完成率为 77%。 数据集展示了每个项目中回答每个问题可选选项中最积极两个选择的成员的十进制百分比。例如，问题 12 的可选答案包括：“大大降低可能性、稍微降低可能性、无影响、稍微增加可能性以及大大增加可能性”。因此，问题 12 选取的数据展示了回答“稍微增加可能性或大大增加可能性”的成员百分比，从而提供了对问题表示积极回应的个人百分比。请访问“关于此数据集”部分下的附件中的 AmeriCorps MES 数据字典文件，以获取更多信息。 需要注意的是：一些成员开始填写调查，但只完成调查的一部分，并在开始后从未完成调查。未完成调查的成员的回应包括在 2017 年 MES 表格中比例的计算中。因此，MES 每个问题的回答人数因问题而异，尽管部分完成的调查在给定时间框架内发放的总调查数量中只占一小部分。完成调查、部分完成调查以及从未开始调查的总数可在“MES 2017 总计”附件部分找到。 要查看 AmeriCorps 项目成员离岗调查的完整副本，请参阅附件部分。本文件省略了 AmeriCorps MES 中的所有开放式问题。有关 AmeriCorps 项目成员离岗调查的更多信息，请参阅以下资料：1） AmeriCorps 项目成员离岗调查事实说明书：https://www.americorps.gov/sites/default/files/document/MES%20Fact%20Sheet_08282024_final_508.pdf2） AmeriCorps 经验信息图：https://americorps.gov/sites/default/files/document/MES_Synthesis_Infographic_071924_final_508.pdf3） AmeriCorps 项目成员离岗调查分析：https://www.americorps.gov/evidence-exchange/highlights-americorps-member-exit-survey-2016-2020-dataset4） AmeriCorps 项目成员离岗调查技术研讨会：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVPg4VKq5lo
