Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Engaging in Song Circles will create a community of trust, develop vocal leadership, and support learning of music through shared singing and interdisciplinary artistic resources. Song circles will develop confidence among those who participate by preparing and leading sing-a-long events for the community they serve. Song circles will positively affect those who participate both as singers and listeners by providing an opportunity to engage positively with others in singing, building confidence and lessening loneliness or isolation, which is especially important for those who have experienced being homeless. We use surveys and will also gather comments and feedback at the sing-a-long food distribution events to understand over time if the presence of the singing group is uplifting to others in the community. We also hope to attract more people to join the circle of singing, so if our number increases that would be another way to evaluate.

Measurable Outcome(s)

two singers out of ten participated in two outdoor circle meetings. 3 out of 10 accessed a phone call or text at least once in order to attempt to stay connected.
