ACHF Arts Access
Ninety low-income, underserved youth will participate in high-quality clay, digital photography, book-making, printmaking, music and dance activities. Keystone will track the number of participants, hours of participation and arts activities. 2: 80% of youth will report an increase in engagement in learning, in part due to new arts experiences. Keystone will measure students' engagement in learning using the SAYO (Survey of Afterschool Outcomes), a researched and validated tool developed at the National Institute for Out of School Time.
133 youth participated in 43 hours of high-quality clay, digital photography, book-arts, printmaking, music and dance activities. Events tracked on program calendars. Attendance taken at each event and entered in program database. 2: 84% reported they usually have a choice of activities here that they like doing. 88% reported that activities here help them in their schoolwork. We measured Engagement in Learning using two survey items from the Minnesota Afterschool Accreditation Program Youth Survey: Do you usually have a choice of activities here that you like to do? Do the activities you do here help you in your schoolwork?
