Hindu Society of North Carolina Greensboro Chapter
Teen Community Outreach Committee Survey – October 2009
The hope of the Teen Community Outreach committee is to develop a temple based program (from 2010) that
provides opportunities for our middle school and high school students to: participate in community service
activities; develop leadership/planning skills; foster fellowship between Indian youth; strengthen the youth
commitment to the temple, and most importantly have fun. The following survey items will help the planning
group develop the temple’s teen program. This form is to be completed by the teen and their parent(s). First
we will see if there is any interest among the teens and their families. The next step is to ascertain what
resources are available to do any type of program. The success and sustainability of this program cannot hinge
on the efforts of one person and will require participation of each family involved. Please write legibly.
