Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Speaking Out will offer six performances of School's No Place for Kids along with related participatory events for multi-generational communities. 75% of community members surveyed will state that an art form (writing, theatre, visual arts) expanded their ability to express their ideas. Speaking Out will document art-making and audience participation during events in written reports to our Advisory Board. Speaking out will also count audience members and collect surveys from audience members and artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We offered eight performances of School's No Place for Kids along with art making activities and served 2013 people in total. 100% of those surveyed stated that an art form expanded their ability to express their ideas. 91% of those surveyed said the program changed the way they think about education.
