Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance staff structure will be sufficient to provide a high quality learning experience to participants in any of our activities. By 2018, staff job descriptions will include accurate hours needed to complete each duty with appropriate compensation. All programs will show high levels of achievement. 2: Young Dance will build outreach into the infrastructure of our organization to assure that we serve a diverse constituency. We will gather demographic data to measure participant population compared to the racial, socio-economical, and gender population of the metro area. Outreach will show high levels of achievement.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance has evolved staff structure towards assuring it is sufficient to support programming and infrastructure. Job duties have been shifted according to individual strengths and organizational needs and we have defined goals for how positions will evolve. 2: Young Dance has revised outreach intent, a programming branch to reach populations not served by existing programs. Results of survey of population served through outreach led us to revise intent of outreach. We are continuing to monitor who is served through outreach and who is served in our home-based programming.
