Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We have five outcomes we hope to achieve: (1) create emotional and intellectual connections for our participants to feel they have the skills to be confident; (2) develop community connections with other local children’s choirs as collaborators and engage with 30-50 singers from varying organizations to perform in Songshare; (3) providing relevant and mission aligned content which supports and affirms the voices of girls and women; (4) Each singer demonstrates growth in musical knowledge/skills, performance abilities, and confidence as a direct impact of participating in our programming; and (5) Remain financially accessible to both participants and audience. We will collect participation numbers from registration, and collaborator numbers from confirmed organizations. Additionally, we will use participant survey's, audience survey's, post-performance discussions/feedback, and director voice/skill checks to quantify data.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In our post-concert discussions/surveys 100% of singers reporting they felt confident, empowered, and had grown their musicianship skills as a direct result of participation in our program. Outreach efforts to increase accessibility for low-income and underserved communities resulted in an increase of 30% in scholarships, along with increased participation numbers for singers of color.
