Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Breanna's Gift will measure the number of adult and youth participants in each class and workshop. Additionally, we will count the number of dance shoes, costumes and Art Takeout projects provided to the children. Evaluations are conducted with the artists/teachers, volunteers, executive director and program director to determine if each project or activity continues to be appropriate, needs revision or should be replaced. Staff members at the facilities served often participate and observe Breanna's Gift programming, their feedback is essential to our success.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our program provided over 190 costumes, dance shoes and props, 301 Art Takeout projects, and worked w/ 706 young participants. Our teachers learned that challenges are diverse and unique based on each child's ability. They discover new ways to adapt and present their art form to give everyone a positive experience. Special measures of success occur when med. appts. are changed so kids can come to class.
