Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Collectively, teens will produce one 8-15 minute long podcast. Individually, 80% of youth participants will acknowledge increased storytelling capabilities; 75% of participants will express increased confidence in publicly expressing their stories; 75% of participants will regard podcasting as a satisfying means to amplify their voice and message; 75% of participants will recognize how their personal strengths were utilized in the podcasting process; and 50% of participants will recognize the applicability of podcasting skills to future jobs. Teens, artists, and staff will evaluate after every meeting using a ?Fist to Five? hand signal to determine how well daily goals were achieved and inform how to tweak the artistic process accordingly. At the end of the project, we will employ surveys to collect outcome data from teens and gather reflections from artists and staff about the delivery, effectiveness and impact of the creative process.
