"How many kids have you reached?" "How has your team been able to change the culture in sports towns (again, we used anecdotes and they were looking for broader numbers)
I was wondering if anyone had an outreach survey to get these (and other) numbers. Like maybe a form or survey that kids/parents/community members could fill out and give feedback on your outreach event.
Any methods of data collecting would be great!

First of all, try to, as a team, collect data as you do anything, that way you don't have to struggle to remember (we learned that the hard way). As far as numbers, you can get rosters from FLL teams and count how many kids you've helped through that. Team rosters are good, too. Show how your team has (hopefully) grown in terms of numbers. And if you do any expos or events, I'm sure you can contact the event coordinators to get rough estimates of attendees.
Anecdotes aren't bad, in fact, they're great. Having anecdotes with the data to back them up is where you want to be.
