Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The program will address barriers such as: lack of awareness of available opportunities, cost, transportation, and fear of the unknown. Number of people who attend and stay at program events will indicate if we’ve provided an easily accessible opportunity for arts consumption to our stakeholders. 2: Each organization bringing their assets and resources to the program. Each organization will dedicate significant time and resources, resulting in a large number of participants from the target audience (Somali immigrants) and high quality programing.
