Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

All participants (max of 13) participate in at least 85% of the twelve programming sessions, and all participants will complete the final project. The majority of participants (over 50%) will indicate ability to effectively advocate for their interests, based on an increased understanding of the importance of their own personal narrative. Program records will track participants' attendance and participation. We will also generate a pre- and post-survey to measure personal outcomes around advocacy and ability, as well as talking circles to gain feedback to shape future programming.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had up to 16 students participate in a single workshop, with an average of 12 students per session. Every single participant created at least one piece to add to the final group project, with many creating multiple pieces that shared their personal stories and community connections.
