Current Top Priorities for Guidance or Collaboration
Contact us to learn more about these current priority areas or to explore collaboration opportunities.- Long term impact on our students – We are conducting a comprehensive alumni study this year; the data from which could be super helpful in looking at how organizations like ours help young people build creative and professional identities and durable skills that last through adulthood.
- Art and juvenile justice – We conducted a study last year on how listening to the stories of incarcerated youth through a youth-produced podcast builds what the researchers call “psychological proximity” amongst its listeners. We are very interested in better understanding this impact on a greater scale, nationwide.
- We are hoping to implement a new database this coming year and wanting to better understand how we use that data to inform program design and continuous improvement.
