Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Literary arts learning is accessible to Twin Cities youth from underserved communities, with diverse racial, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds. We will use participant registration data, school data, surveys and interviews to track demographics and to measure participants' engagement, impacts on self-confidence, and program satisfaction. 2: We will illuminate and amplify the perspectives of diverse Twin CIties youth through print and digital publication as well as community events. We will track the number of pieces written and published (both print and digitally) as well as the number of program participants that we serve. We will also track the number of students who participate in public readings (both live and recorded).
