Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to have at least 20 youth participating or attending at the event. Additionally, we want at least 30 adults participating or attending the event. We will use voluntary surveys to gather information from our attendees. Additionally, focus groups will be held to obtain additional information.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Summer camp was a success. 95% of the students that attended the summer camp learned the Lao language, dance and music instrument for the first time and took with them conversational language that they can use with other Laotian people.98% of parents surveyed after the camp, believed that their children not only benefited from the sessions but also learned new aspects of the culture and language.
