Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

All participants (max of 15) participate in at least 85% of the programming sessions, and all participants will complete the final collaborative project. The majority of participants (over 50%) will indicate ability to effectively advocate for their interests, based on an increased understanding of the importance of their own personal narrative. Program records will track participants' attendance and participation. We will also generate a pre- and post-survey to measure personal outcomes around advocacy and ability, as well as talking circles to gain feedback to shape future programming.

Measurable Outcome(s)

44 youth either participated and completed the personal project or the group project, and about 30 engaged in the celebration showcasing the final projects. 24 teens and YA participated at any point in the weekly group sessions, and all engaged in telling of their own stories/narratives; attendance varied and only nine maintained 85% attendance rate. Majority realized importance of their own stories.
