KKC will minimize real and perceived barriers for youth experiencing homelessness to participate in ceramics arts learning. KKC has a long history of successfully addressing real barriers such as transportation and child care. Attendance and resources will be tracked throughout the program. 2: At least 25 youth struggling with homelessness will expand their understanding 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.
KKC successfully engaged youth experiencing homelessness in a ceramics class series. By tracking attendance and providing barrier minimizing resources, KKC provided an extended engagement for youth to learn the ceramic art form. 2: Thirty-four youth attended the series and deepened their connection to the arts. Feedback sessions were especially helpful in understanding how youth view ceramic arts as therapeutic and accessible. Over 50% of participants attended multiple sessions, pointing to the popularity of the series.
