Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

El Arco Iris Center for the Arts hopes to enroll over 25 youth in this program, especially reaching out to new families. We hope to provide these youth and their families with the history of Afro-Puerto Rico and teach them skills of Bomba and Plena through dance, music and song. Our evaluation plan consist of a survey directed to parents, youth and instructors to gage their experience in the program (what worked and what needs improvements).

Measurable Outcome(s)

The most significant outcomes that resulted from the completion of our project was connecting so many families and igniting the passion of what El Arco Iris is trying to portray in our mission statement, which is: We create community that empowers and inspires children and families through traditional Afro-Puerto Rican music, art, dance, and song. About 80% of our youth were new to the program.
