ACHF Arts Education
As a result of this program, 4-H youth in Red Lake County will be comfortable exploring new ways to express themselves through the arts while building communication skills and self-confidence. Evaluation will occur through participant questionnaires, participation and audience counts, and small group input sessions from participants and volunteers after each workshop/class.
We were able to provide high quality and safe learning experiences for youth interested in the arts while partnering with community artists. These opportunities sparked passion for youth in a way that has turned into a driving force to create additional opportunities for younger 4-H'ers and other community members.
