Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

100 low-income, underserved youth will participate in puppetry, theater, visual arts and book arts. Keystone will track the number of participants, hours of participation and arts activities. 2: Eighty percent of youth will report an increase in engagement in learning, in part due to new arts experiences. Keystone will measure students’ engagement in learning using the SAYO – Survey of Afterschool Outcomes, a researched and validated tool developed at the National Institute for Out of School Time.

Measurable Outcome(s)

117 low-income, underserved youth participated in theater, visual arts and book arts. Numbers of students, classes, performances, and hours were tracked. 2: 86% of 117 youth increased their engagement in learning, in part due to new arts experiences. Youth engagement in learning was measured using the SAYO (Survey of Afterschool Youth Outcomes), a researched and validated tool developed at the National Institute for Out of School Time at Wellesley College. Staff observation and student report added further evidence.
