Impact reports
Community needs assessment
In 2020, CSU Extension embarked on a statewide community needs assessment process to understand changing community needs and look deeper into the people we serve. Working with stakeholders across Colorado’s counties, our local CSU Extension offices guided a process introducing new insights and learnings in addition to a broad review of existing data.
Our process included four main elements: a perception survey, secondary data analysis, key informant data, and a community needs assessment survey.
Public officials survey
We also learn by inviting state and local public officials to provide insight on awareness of CSU’s programs across the state. We receive input about Extension offerings and changing community needs and opportunities. We use these insights to inform our planning processes and to gather feedback on our progress.
