Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We will increase the number of youth directly participating in events by 18% from 171 to 200. This will be evaluated in two distinct ways. 1st) participation numbers, 2nd) an eight question survey of youth regarding their participation. 2: A better understanding of what the community and region would like A Center for the Arts to be. AC4TA will do a comprehensive survey of our city and region to not only raise awareness but to better understand what our area would like us to be/produce.
Measurable Outcome(s)
210 students participated, Primarily the students but family and patrons as well. Registration numbers and survey of participants. VERY SUCCESSFUL! It has led to additional programing from this age group. 2: AC4TA committed to all service organizations in town, we will continue this process over the next season. Questions and dialog during service organization meetings.
