Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

90% of the young families with children attending the series indicated this was their first exposure to the Music and Arts in the Park Program. Of those youth who attended the added youth activities, surveys showed that 80% of the respondents developed a new art-form skill. The committee will do a weekly survey of our performers and audience members which will ask for sex, age, nationality, any disability, and what they took away from today's performance. We will be able to use this data to better meet the needs of our underserved population in the future. We will also keep accurate counts of the number of people in the audience and the number of youth participating in the extra activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Because we could not actually run the program I have no quantitative data to share, However, because of the programing we had in place to pull in young families I do believe we would have been successful in meeting our proposed outcomes.
