2018 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 2018, 48,960 surveys were completed out of 63,270, 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 2018 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 2018 Total Counts".

在服务期满离任之际，美国公民团成员被邀请完成美国公民团成员离任调查（AmeriCorps MES），以提供有关其服务经历的信息。通过收集成员经历的数据，美国公民团及其合作伙伴能够更好地理解如何支持其成员，同时有兴趣成为成员的个人可以了解服务的益处。完成完整任期后离任的成员以及提前离任的成员均需完成离任调查。数据包括成员的公民意识、社区参与度、文化适应能力和培养的生活与职业技能（基于美国公民团成员变革理论）。此外，还包括对成员经历和培训、服务动机以及离任后计划的衡量。排除任何在成员年满18岁之前开始的数据。自2015年MES启动以来，已有超过36万受访者。2018年，在63,270份调查中，完成了48,960份调查，完成率为77%。

数据集展示了每个项目中成员对每个问题可用选项中最积极两个选择的十进制百分比。例如，问题12的可选答案为：“大大减少可能性、略有减少可能性、无影响、略有增加可能性以及大大增加可能性”。因此，问题12所选数据展示了回应“略有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。

值得注意的是，一些成员开始填写调查，但只完成了一部分调查，并且从未完成调查。未完成调查的成员的回应被包含在2018年MES表中比例的计算中。因此，MES中每个问题的回答总数因问题而异，尽管部分完成的调查在给定时间段内发放的总调查数量中占比较小。完成调查总数、部分完成调查数以及从未开始调查数可在“MES 2018总计数”部分的附件中找到。
