Task 6: Protocol

Evaluation Question: Based on your experience, how do you feel the Girls on the Run program is helping young girls in the community battle low self-esteem and bullying? 

The following questions will be used in face-to-face interviews with staff members/coaches. The interview will be semi-structured to allow more clarification if needed. The interviews will be conducted using seven staff members/coaches over three weeks. 

  1. What is the curriculum for the GOTR program?
  2. How do you feel the GOTR program has affected the girls in the program? 
  3. What recommendations would you make?
  4. Now that the program has been completed, how do you feel the training could be improved? 
  5. Have you heard or observed girls use skills learned in GOTR in school, home, or neighborhood situations? 
  6. What are important issues related to life skills that GOTR should focus on? 
  7. How do you ensure that participants feel that they belong? 
  8. With returning participants, have you observed a continuation of the positive development seen after previous programs?
