Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

KKC will minimize real and perceived barriers for homeless youth to participate in ceramic arts learning. KKC has a strong history addressing real barriers such as transportation and child care. Attendance/resources will be tracked throughout the program along with discussions around perceived barriers. 2: At least twenty-five youth struggling with homelessness will expand their understanding of and deepen their connection to the arts. Simple evaluations will be given and discussions will be facilitated to track experiences and gather feedback from both youth and teaching artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

KKC minimized real and perceived barriers for youth experiencing homelessness to participate in ceramics arts learning. Attendance and resource tracking showed that more youth than expected participated in this program. 2: Thirty-four youth experiencing homelessness participated in ceramic arts learning classes, deepening their connection to the arts. Through feedback discussions and simple surveys, KKC determined that most youth felt ceramics was healing and therapeutic. The majority came more than one time and all said they would attend another series.
