Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase media arts capacity and opportunities for people of color, who are generally under-represented in the media industry. We will use two evaluation methods to evaluate this outcome: Process Evaluation to monitor program activities, and Outcome Evaluation to measure the impact of the projects. In Focus is designed with a service-learning component that helps youth communicate community issues through their art. We will use three evaluation methods to evaluate this outcome: Summative Evaluation to assess overall effectiveness and achievements, and Outcome Evaluation to measure the impact of the project.
