ACHF Arts Access
1. 95% of mentees indicated that their confidence, competencies, and skills improved in their selected art medium helping them find their inner artistic voice and guide them on their journey to reaching their full artistic potential. 2. 85% of mentors indicated they were invigorated with the opportunity to share their artistic experience and talents with the mentees and give them the chance to experience the joy that comes along with helping them to achieve their dreams and goals,. The mentorship program will be evaluated by (1) having both the mentors and mentees fill out a pre-program self-assessment form before the mentorship program begins to rate themselves on a variety of attributes such as self-confidence, current skill level and other qualities/attributes and then compare the results to a post-program self-assessment to see the extent of the growth to gauge the effectiveness of the program. (2) having both the mentors and mentees complete a midpoint and post-program survey that focuses on areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction expressed through open-ended questions to gauge what went well and what improvements need to be made for future mentorship programs.
