Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Thirty low-income or at-risk youth will have the opportunity to participate in artistic disciplines and new forms of artmaking. We will evaluate this outcome by measuring the number of youth who participate in the project through attendance data, surveys, and participant feedback. 2: A successful partnership with the Boys and Girls Club and the Rochester Art Center is established. We will evaluate this outcome through a partner survey to be completed by Rochester Art Center staff at the end of the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Youth have already benefited from the opportunity to learn technique, work together to choreograph and practice an urban dance. BGCR staff will evaluate the project, RAC will provide feedback, and our kids and their families will be surveyed for their feedback. We will also utilize our membership software to track attendance and measure the number of participants in each phase of the project. 2: The existing project put BGCR and RAC on the fast track to developing a relationship and working together following staff changes.
