Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will increase outreach by 300 students, to include after school and summer youth programs and expanding to one additional senior living facility. The programs will be evaluated by student head count. We will also evaluate if new outreach locations are secured, as well as how many repeat locations are scheduled. 2: We will collaborate with seven existing programs/locations and increase outreach to three new collaborators. We will track the number of programs that include Art House teaching staff and lessons, ensuring sustainable partnerships. We will have ongoing conversations with all program staff. New collaborator recruitment will be measured by the number of commitment

Measurable Outcome(s)

Due to Covid, most outreach was cancelled. We reached 700, compared to 5,000 in 2019. Head counts were used for outreach efforts. We did not secure any new locations or audiences due to Covid. 2: We maintained seven collaborations, but were not able to add three new collaboartors. We maintained programs from January - Mid-March and limited programs in the summer and one event in September.
