Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Maintain the programs for children and youth that enrich the lives of thousands of underserved children, and give school-age children artistic and creative education. 2. Strengthen our core programs for adults by expanding our offerings and strengthening and deepening our relationship with faculty. Assess the value of our programs to users through surveys of students, parents, and organizational representatives; measure the number of return enrollments.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. For the year, 5,500 children and youth participated; 4,100 came from fifty-five partners. Sixty percent (approximately 2,500) participated at low or no cost. Our evaluation program includes written surveys completed by the program staff, participants and teachers. Results are summarized by staff and inform design of future programs. 2. We expanded programs (both type and frequency) for underserved adults. We partnered with four organizations that serve 256 developmentally disabled adults. We launched our senior outreach program and served 116 from three different centers. Written evaluations from the staff and participants as well as anecdotal comments have provided valuable information.
