Barriers of cost, ADA access, access to art supplies and artists, and facilities will be eliminated. Outcomes measured through attendance, observation of completed projects, and behavior.The Northfield Union of Youth will track all program participants. The Northfield Union of Youth will administer an evaluation at the end of the program, designed to gain information for the outcome measures above. Project staff will conduct interviews with select participants to record their reactions to the program.
