Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Underserved youth develop greater self-empowerment (choice, competence, social skills, etc.) as they creatively express themselves through group art. Increased self-knowledge and empowerment will be measured by SAYO-Y-formatted facilitator observations and student feedback surveys on many self/social competencies, along with the performance. 2: Youth demonstrate positive connections to peers, caring adults, and cultural identities through the team creation of a performance for the community. The performance, attendance tallies, SAYO-Y-formatted observations, and notes on post-performance reflective discussions will be used to measure increased positive connections and understandings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

70% of underserved youth developed greater self-empowerment as they creatively express themselves through Lights Camera Action. Increased self-knowledge and empowerment was measured by youth consistently engaging in Lights Camera Action and a youth survey, comparing scores on knowledge and confidence at the start of class and with survey results at the end of class. 2: 54% youth demonstrate positive connections to peers, caring adults, and cultural identities through the team creation of a performance for the class. The youth who consistently attended class and artists' observation survey was used to measure increased positive connections and collaboration with peers.
