Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants' needs to address barriers will be continually assessed. Tracking of access to resources such as bus tokens and child care subsidies will happen weekly. This will allow staff to adjust needs as necessary. 2: Youth experiencing homelessness will gain access to high quality arts programming. Attendance in workshops will be tracked to evaluate frequency of participation. Surveys will also be given to youth to assess qualitative measures.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Perceived and real barriers for youth participation were addressed and adjusted as necessary. Attendance and resource tracking gave project leaders insight into individual youth needs to better minimize barriers to participation. Weekly discussions were facilitated by artists to determine group and individual needs and abilities. 2: A unique population of youth experiencing homelessness with a high frequency of police interaction gained access to arts programming. Attendance tracking and communication was tracked to determine success. Surveys and feedback discussions tracked qualitative measures.
