We will be evaluated results by number of youths attending each event measured by a participant count; program satisfaction as recorded in pre-post surveys; and number of community members engaged by a count. We have added a reporting form to our internal database that will record number of events held and number of attendees. We will also take informal surveys to assess learning at business seminars.

Measurable Outcome(s)

357 young people (ages 11-24) participated in Recording Arts activities in person as performers or audience before the pandemic. We hosted 9 performances during that time and 215 recording sessions. After we transitioned to online, our business of music sessions typically garnered 20-100 views, and in the last several months of the grant term almost every video was shared 20 or more times.
