ACHF Arts Access
During the fall of 2018, we will pair 30 creative adult mentors one-on-one with 30 children (ages 8-11), during our 10-week after-school program at Bancroft Elementary in Minneapolis. Of those participating, more than 80% of children and volunteers will report an overall positive experience in our program evaluations, with increased awareness of their creative abilities, and the desire to participate again. To measure the outcomes of Art Buddies, we will have all children and volunteers complete a written evaluation at the end. We will also closely monitor the interaction between children and their mentors, and keep track of progress, enrollment and attendance.
We paired 31 kids with 30 mentors (1 mentor had 2 buddies). Our goal was 30 kids and 30 mentors. Participants presented their costumes to the entire school during the final parade, with around 300 students and staff in the audience. Evaluations reflected positive feedback; 95% of students reported they liked or loved Art Buddies and 85% reported an increase in feeling more creative and confident.
