ACHF Arts Access
Our project goal is to work with four new partner organizations in 2020-2021 that either serve primarily people of color or agree to prioritize people of color receiving access to the classes. Our goal is to work with 40 new adults with developmental disabilities in 480 individual hours of programming, and sharing their voices with the community beyond our classrooms. Beyond just meeting these targets, we seek to maintain our track record of 95% or higher student and partner organization satisfaction, measured by both surveys and retention of partner organizations beyond the grant.
Many outcomes are included above, but another important one to note is that since our "Apprentice" co-teachers with disabilities are all drawn from previous Cow Tipping students, diversifying our student population is also going to diversify our teacher population (baseline: 50% teachers of color, 33% Apprentices of color for this project)--a really virtuous cycle accelerated by this grant. Yay!
