Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We project that twenty 10-14-year olds will respond positively in a program evaluation about their experience: 100% of youth will enjoy summer arts camp; 100% will feel that they learned about social justice; 100% will be more interested in theater arts than before summer arts camp. We project that participation in summer arts camp will develop new skills among participants such as: personal care (properly applying makeup, maintaining and styling hair) and theater arts development (script writing, prop management, directing, sound management, and stage lighting). Verbal evaluations will be conducted at the close of each day to gain immediate feedback and also at the end of each week to discuss impact and develop engagement and goals for the upcoming week. After completion of the arts camp, written surveys will be given to camp participants to assess their overall camp experience; a parent evaluation will be administered to assess the parent's perception of their child's experience and how the program affected them; and a staff survey will be given to assess the resident artist's performance of duties and how activities impacted the campers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

81% of students said they became a better speaker, 91% feel good about themselves, 91% learned to see the world through a social justice lens, and 91% learned different types of performing arts. For parents, they have confidence in the instruction delivered at Unity Center, they see increased knowledge in their child and new social skills, and have increased communication with their child.
