Measurable Outcome(s)

JXTA artists worked with officials, partners, and residents on neighborhood improvement and policy initiatives. We evaluated the outcome by maximizing the potential of our JXTA expanded campus in the West Broadway corridor through tracking participation from the North Minneapolis community in programs and tracking relationships both regionally and nationally. 2: JXTA has strengthened our youth art training and employment programs, employed artists and connected emerging artists to college and career pathways. We assessed the results by monitoring the annual youth employment rate and enhancing the Pathways to College and Careers program.
