Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Expand public awareness and recruiting efforts which will grow our choir membership and involve more singers from all areas of the Twin Cities. Outcome will be measured by how many new members join the ACYC choral program. We will collect data from all singers that contact us about how they heard about ACYC, so we can track the impact of our advertising.

Measurable Outcome(s)

(137) NEW singers joined from (41) communities. New singers heard about the ACYC program from friends, family members, social media, teachers and educators, summer camp or general web search.
