Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 25 different youth experiencing homelessness will participate in a series of design and sewing workshops with teaching artist Greg Grease. A minimum of 75% of participants will indicate an increase of skills towards creative expression. KKC staff will track youth attendance for single and repeat visits and barrier minimizing resources will be tracked to gauge their effectiveness and assist KKC in adapting to any other barriers that arise for this unique youth community. Participant feedback and survey discussions will be conducted each week to capture perceptions of skill levels.

Measurable Outcome(s)

All 4 participants were consistent in their attendance and expressed that their skills increased in the workshops. As discussed in the narrative, the videos produced by teaching artist Greg Grease were valuable during the series to round out learning, and will also continue to be accessible on our YouTube channel.
