Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Addressing barriers of poverty (no cost) and distance (provide transportation) will increase participation in project by 30% in 2014. We will track daily participation of youth and older adults, their geographic locations and numbers requesting transportation to be compiled and compared with 2013 program data. 2: Providing arts immersion program paired with older adult mentors will expand quality of Northland Area Family Service Center’s services for education and mentoring in 2014. Utilize final evaluation forms, daily individual/group reflection and Community Arts Connection survey to track individual level of new arts learning and impact of mentoring on program quality.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We enrolled 82 students in camp over the two weeks. The average attendance rate for both weeks was 92%. We had 10 mentors for these two weeks. We had 96% attendance for our mentors. 2: Through the grant NAFSC was able to reach out to 20 new families in the area that have not accessed family center programming in the past.
