Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Project SUCCESS will bring 950 under-served Minneapolis middle school students to a performance at the Northrop. Project SUCCESS will measure quantity and demographics of youth participation. 2: Project SUCCESS will use this performance to help students broaden their world-view and set goals for the future. Project SUCCESS will survey participating students and teachers following the performance on the impact of the experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Project SUCCESS brought 775 students from four Minneapolis and Saint Paul schools to Compagnie Käfig’s `Correria / Agwa` at Northrop Auditorium. Project SUCCESS measured the quantity and demographics of students who attended. Of the students who participated 31% are African American, 13% Asian American, 16% Hispanic/Latino American, 2% Native American and 38% Caucasian. Two of the four schools are among those ranking more than 80% in low-income households. 2: Project SUCCESS received qualitative data from students and teachers that demonstrated the activity was a positive experience for their communities. Project SUCCESS connected with students and teachers after the performance and collected qualitative data regarding their experiences. Due to the challenges we faced regarding the logistical operations of the activity, we were unfortunately unable to survey the students.
