Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Perceived or real barriers to participation are addressed. Partnerships are developed between social service organizations and arts organizations to better serve underserved communities. Social or human service organizations use arts to help achieve their service goals.
Measurable Outcome(s)
One barrier is to overcome and create an experience that is accessible to people of all ability levels. Staff rated the classes given by CLIMB on the appropriateness of the class and its perception by consumers involved. Evaluation results indicated a 3.8 or higher rating for class involvement and understanding. A rating of 3.5 or better was considered to be successful. Staff involved evaluated each session given by CLIMB through written evaluations and feedback from consumers involved to help them evaluate their program to better serve others with special needs in the future.
