Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) We aims to empower twenty Hmong youth with animation techniques and storytelling methods to address social and cultural issues in their Hmong Community; 2) Establish an ALTERNATIVE PLATFORM for self-expression among Hmong Youth, and 3) 90% of youth gain a stronger appreciation to traditional Hmong storytelling roots. We will evaluate through discussion/feedback with our staff and youth participate in the workshops. We will also evaluate the number of youth we recruit into the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We have successfully collaborated with artists and reached intended OUTCOMES through ?A Place to Call Home? Project, trained 47 youth with 2D drawings and Digital Animation skills, with more than 300 creative products. We have successfully empowered these youth to use ARTS as weapon to address social and cultural issues surrounding them, and use ARTS to share their frustrations and stories.
