Through our partnerships Hope connects with diverse youth in the community, brings valuable resources to Hope, and impacts other community organizations.Through individual feedback and consistent reflection with participants we will learn about impact. Following the completion of each mural, Chaka and lead artists will facilitate a final Listening session with partner Waite House and youth participants to reflect on the collective process and individual artistic self-development.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Developing, expanding and deepening relationships with peers and mentors and the building of stronger diverse community connections; Building confidence through working on common goals, trying new things and cooperating learning; Developing neighborhood leadership through mentoring, negotiating with peers/resolving conflicts and sharing experiences and feelings in a group setting.
