Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
YouthLink will connect homeless young people to caring adults through music, critique, performance and a collaborative album. Quantitatively, youth participation will be tracked both in total number and frequency. Qualitatively, participants will be a part of the planning and will complete surveys to evaluate the depth of engagement and connectedness to the community.
Measurable Outcome(s)
YouthLink provided effective, individualized services to youth experiencing homelessness through the arts. Youth attendance was tracked at workshops along with resources utilized (bus tokens, child care stipends). Feedback sessions were held regularly with youth, along with surveys to determine the quality of their experience.
