When Impact Monterey County (IMC) hosted our 2019 Community Aspirations Assessment we were hoping to better understand how aspirations may have changed or remained the same since 2015, along with set a framework for our work for the next five years. At that time we never could have anticipated the upcoming pandemic nor the impact it would have on our community. We shifted our findings from 2019 to create the 2020 Report to the Community which focused on how we could take what we learned to apply it to best responding and recovering from the pandemic. Now a few years later, seeing how much our community has grown, we have decided to host our 2022 Community Aspirations Assessment, so that we are not working based of a pre-pandemic roadmap, but rather alongside our community where they are now. Please read on below to learn more about the 2022 Community Aspirations Assessment and how you may be able to get involved.
2022 Surveys
As part of our 2022 Community Aspirations Assessment, IMC is hosting our 2022 Surveys. These surveys are modified off of the surveys that were utilized in 2019. Changes in the surveys have been made based on key informant feedback, information learned during the pandemic, and insights from the IMC 2022 Assessment Data Committee. In the design we honed in on questions that would be most helpful in highlighting actionable data for improving life in our community.
Residents taking either our adult or youth surveys should expect to spend about 10-15 minutes responding to questions and can always skip questions that they do not feel comfortable answering or do not want to answer.

2022 Community Conversations
As part of our 2022 Community Aspirations Assessment, IMC will be hosting Community Conversations and partnering with local organizations to host Community Conversations as well. These conversations will help IMC gain a stronger sense of people’s aspirations for their communities.
Our strategy with Community Conversations is to create space for residents, especially those who may face barriers to participating in the survey to be able to participate in the assessment and share their aspirations for themselves and their community.
If you have questions about the Community Conversations or would like to find out how you could participate, reach out to Kalyssa King at kalyssa.king@unitedwaymcc.org.

The 2022 Impact Monterey County (IMC) Assessment would not be possible without the power of partnership.

A special thank you to the 2022 IMC Assessment Data Committee representing the Monterey County Health Department, First 5, Bright Futures, Bright Beginnings, and the Monterey County Office of Education for all of your hard work to make the 2022 Assessment an effective tool for our community at this point in time.
