Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Our outcomes are to have at least 20 youth participate in the program, with at least 8 presenting their work in the capstone event. As a result of this program, youth will feel positive about poetry as a method of self-expression and overall literacy skills will improve.Staff evaluations determine participating artist success. We track attendance software and count participants in each program. To help determine a project’s success. We survey member poets and their families to determine if positive behaviors (self-esteem, confidence) have improved.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We had 14 youth participate in the program, with 11 youth reading their work at the slam.
