OMB Control Number: 1024–NEW.
Title: Assessment Tools for ParkBased Youth Education and
Employment Experience Programs.
Type of Request: This is a new
collection.
Affected Public: General Public;
College students, school aged children
(elementary, middle and high school),
and teachers.
Respondent Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: One-time.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 573.
SAMO Youth
program
SHRUBS
We estimate an average of 25 minutes
per response (5 minutes for the initial
PO 00000
and long-term success of these programs
in shaping students’ attitudes toward
conservation, their recreational choices,
and their career interests. Areas of
interest include: (1) Understanding and
concern for natural and cultural
resource conservation and stewardship
and resulting behavior changes both
inside and outside parks; (2) Awareness
and feelings toward the National Park
Service; (3) Recreational interests and
activities; (4) Influences on family and
friends’ attitudes and behaviors; (5)
Education and career choices; and (6)
Usefulness of work experience.
The SHRUB program provides
education and in-depth involvement for
students and their families in grade
school. The EcoHelpers program
provides one-day service learning
programs to high school students. The
SAMO Youth program provides
progressive integrated work experience
for high school and college students.
While SAMO has many observational
and anecdotal indications of success, no
formal tools have been developed to
evaluate these programs. The goal of
this collection is to provide
scientifically sound and reliable
measures of outcomes for the three
youth education and employment
experience programs at SAMO. This
assessment will be used to build the
capacity of park youth program
managers to help the park achieve its
goal of continual program improvement
and expanded documentation of
program impact.
