Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase social capital through a peer network and exposure to media arts professionals that creates connections and often lead to real professional media making opportunities. The Youth Program Quality Assessment model will score over four areas: Safe Environment, Supportive Environment, Interaction and Engagement. 2: Skill development through activities, including civic engagement, youth empowerment, media literacy, service learning, career training, experiential learning, mentoring, and technology training. In addition to utilizing the Quality Assessment model, IFP Minnesota will request an evaluation from participating students. IFP Minnesota will track student successes regarding: film festival activity, internship and job opportunities; and progression towards college acceptance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

JuiceMedia created new opportunities for arts learning by bringing kids together with media-minded youth from across the Twin Cities to create a network of filmmakers among their peers. The program also offered students the chance to meet professionals from the local film industry. 2: IFP Minnesota has always been very successful in creating a diverse constituency. Over 40% of participants were students of color, over 40% qualify for free or reduced lunch, and girls comprised over 60% of total participants (as girls had historically comprised a small percentage of participants, we made a concerted effort to recruit more girls, which was a huge success).
