Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

For the 2015 Power of Vision project, lead artists will guide at least 30 diverse youth to complete one neighborhood mural and refurbish selected past Power of Vision murals. Hope's evaluation process will show that at least 95% of participating youth will develop artistic skills and build confidence and neighborhood leadership through working on common goals, trying new things and completing a project collectively. During the grant period, Hope's comprehensive database will show us who is involved, in what and how often. Through individual feedback, consistent reflection and a final Listening session with youth participants and lead artists, we will learn about the impact of the mural process related to collective process and individual artistic self-development.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Deepened relationships with peers/mentors and the building of stronger diverse community connections; Built confidence through working on common goals, trying new things and cooperating learning; Developed neighborhood leadership through mentoring, negotiating with peers/resolving conflicts and sharing experiences/feelings in a group setting.
