The Opportunity PassportTM Participant Survey Hi! I’m Terry. And I’m Joe. We’re here to tell you all about the Opportunity PassportTM Participant Survey. Hi, I’m Rob. I have some questions… What is the Opportunity PassportTM Participant Survey? It’s a survey used to collect information from young people enrolled in the Opportunity PassportTM. Sometimes it’s called OPPS for short. OPPS is designed especially for young people. Young people even helped create it! Why should I take OPPS? We want to keep learning as much as possible about the lives of young people leaving foster care… By taking the survey, you are helping people understand what life is like for these young people. For example, the survey asks things like… Whether you have a doctor Where you live Whether you have a job Who supports you most How you pay for housing Why is all this information important? The information can be used to improve the system and create opportunities for young people leaving foster care. For example, one site’s survey results showed that young people needed some help finishing high school... So they hired an educational planner! You can see that taking the survey is really important. $ $ $ Your time is important too. You’ll get paid $40 each time you complete the survey ! $ And there’s more… $ $ The $40 will be divided equally between your IDA and debit accounts ($20 in each account). And, the $20 in your IDA account is matched. So, you actually earn a total of $60 When do I take the survey? The first survey should be taken as soon as possible after you enroll in the Opportunity PassportTM. After that, you take it every April and October. But why do I need to take the survey twice a year? Because it helps us see how things are changing over time. How do I take the survey? It’s online!
