Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

DYFIT will offer 36 free public practices, 21 all-ages sessions at the Library, and four workshops with the residents at Episcopal Church Home. We will gather feedback at the end of each session from participants (verbal and written), as well as at the end of each section of programming (i.e. at the end of the public practice season).

Measurable Outcome(s)

The work with Episcopal Homes manifested in a series of 12 workshops with individuals from Cornelia House and 1 workshop with the entire Episcopal Homes campus and members of the public as well as the Cornelia House participants.The Rondo project was unfortunately cancelled due to COVID. We far surpassed our plan of offering 36 public practices, offering more than 60 sessions July-October.
