At least 75% of stakeholders administered the Youth Program Quality Assessment will agree that the Youth Out Loud Film Project allowed youth to make choices, lead and experience high levels of engagement. Student surveys show that 75% of youth enjoyed the program, were satisfied with the level of skill they obtained, and feel the project's artistic goal was reached. We will evaluate the success of the Youth Out Loud Film Project relative to YOL's programmatic goals using the Youth Program Quality Assessment (YPQA), a validated instrument designed to measure the quality of youth programs and the degree to which youth voice is centered. All stakeholders - staff, students, family members, artists - can provide feedback through YPQA. A pre- and post-survey specific to this project will be designed with input from staff members developing and engaging youth with the organizing curriculum, and with the teaching artist to measure the degree to which youth enjoyed the program, were satisfied with the level of skill they obtained, and feel the project's artistic goal was reached. We will also track attendance at YOL Film Project learning sessions, and at two film screenings. Finally, we will monitor whether student internships reflect ongoing interest in the arts and activism issue selected for this project.
The YOL Film Project engaged 11 youth between February and August who attended 10-13 sessions. Eight sessions were led by the teaching artist. 100% of 11 youth felt they learned about social justice; 100% of three interns felt they were given a chance to explore their artistic skills and interests and that they learned more about how change making happens through documentary filmmaking.
