These resources will support the Don't You Feel It Too Public Practice in producing 40+ free public sessions. We will improve the user experience, improving the volunteer experience, clarify our artistic and marketing message, and improve project administration. We invite immediate feedback at each of our 40+ public sessions, with a dedicated 30-minute reflection. We have bi-monthly organizing team meetings, and we also use surveys after each major event.
30 DYFIT sessions were offered during the grant period, which is a nearly 100% increase from the same period the previous year. There were a total of 306 participants for these sessions, 120% increase from last year, including 39 new participants, a 225% increase. Many participants reported an increase in the quality of their practice experience due to the availability of snacks and earbuds.
