Focus Group Results: Using Volunteers in Adult Basic Education

Volunteer Issues Committee’s purpose in conducting focus groups with ABE staff across the state of MN was two-fold. First to clarify and discover what types of resources are needed by ABE staff when using volunteers and second to determine the barriers to effectively using volunteers in ABE. The focus group method was used to systemically obtain actual data and input from ABE staff in the field.

There were 101 participants who attended 12 focus groups conducted at 9 locations across the state of Minnesota from August 2009 through early May 2010.
