Offer area and visiting youth an outlet for creative and social expression. Expand Ely Folk School youth arts programming. Success will be measured in a number of ways. One statistic we will keep track of is recurring participation. If youth return to the program regularly, we will know that our program is achieving its goals. We will also be verbally surveying the youth and sending surveys via email to parents and guardians for feedback. In our small town, word of mouth is the strongest form of both feedback and publicity. Staff and volunteers will keep track of casual feedback and awareness of the Ely Folk School and our Kids Maker Mornings Program from both residents and visitors throughout the summer. Growth in off-site discussion of the program will be a sign of success. Requests in continuation of the program is also a sign of success. Continued support and collaboration with Ely Community Resources will also indicate to us that we have achieved our joint goals.
