Community Arts

In offering the Arts Exploration Workshop, we seek 4 outcomes: Youth view the arts as an enjoyable, attractive activity; Youth learn new skills; Youth produce satisfying products, and; Youth believed they had a caring, supportive environment to work in. We will consider this project successful if at least 75% of surveyed Workshop participants feel they have improved their artistic skills, learned something new about art, and/or considered art an enjoyable experience. We expect 75 youth to participate.To measure progress toward these outcomes, we will survey Workshop participants at the end of the grant period. Each FamilyMeans program and project is required to set goals and identify quantifiable outputs, client outcomes, and business metrics as appropriate. These data are collected, reviewed quarterly, and reported annually. Updates are provided monthly to the board of directors. We share program information, stories and statistics with our community and funders through our Annual Report, events, newsletters, press releases, website and social media. Internally we share results from our Quality Assurance Committee and Program evaluations with staff and Board.
