To educate and inform audiences about issues of diversity and inclusion and celebrate the unique contributions of various ethnicities and cultures to our community through arts programming.Questionnaires for audience members and several youth celebration attendees, especially family members, who verbally expressed appreciation for the recognition given to the students and for the quality of poetry and prose.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Responses included a variety of recommendations on additional topics to be included in future diversity initiatives. Additionally, we received volunteers to participate in focus groups to review this year's activities and assist in planning next year's programming.
