Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Student surveys showed that 95% of participants say that they would refer others to YAI’s programs. 25% of all participants will be first-time YAI participants. Youth Participant and Parent Surveys: We implement surveys of all participants at the beginning, middle, and end of the program -- including youth artists and artistic staff -- to build shared accountability for learning and fulfillment of goals. We also use surveys to seek feedback from parents and guardians at the end of the program on their children's learning experience, quality of artistic staff, communication, and overall artistic quality of the production.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Student surveys showed that 98% of participants say that they would refer others to YAI's programs. 27% of all participants will be first-time YAI participants.
