Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Don't You Feel It Too? will hire four consultants with disabilities to audit the DYFIT practice itself, five of our outdoor public practice sites, and our use of Zoom video conferencing for virtual practices. We will have a mid-process check-in with our consultants to make sure that the project is going according to plan, as well as post-project meeting with our Organizing Team where we will evaluate the project and give members a list of concrete changes we plan to make to our ADA Access Improvement Plan.
