The outcomes of the Teen Center Zine Project are: 1) Participants will produce a collaboratively-generated visual and literal expression of a thematic interest; 2) 75% of surveyed teen participants will acknowledge an increased confidence in expressing themselves; 3) 75% of surveyed teen participants will develop knowledge of and basic proficiency in using artistic tools for expression. Completed production of the zine will meet our first project outcome. Outcome 2 will be measured through a combination of reflection sessions and surveys--querying teen participants about whether they gain increased confidence in artistic expression; progress toward Outcome 3 will be measured by artists and staff charting what range and skill level of artistic tools youth obtain.
Teens residing in Landfall, guided by three artists, participated in the 'zine (electronic magazine) project. A post-project focus group conducted with participating teens revealed that teens valued this project as a means of self-expression; embraced the opportunity to distinguish Landfall as a known and independent community; and got to voice their ôpride in placeö and sense of community.
