New Report Measures Long-Term Impact of Youth Community Arts Programs

A new report from The Wallace Foundation, “Creative Expression, Caring Relationships, and Career Pathways: A Guide to Youth Outcomes in Community Arts Programs,” identifies the long-term benefits of these programs. Based on interviews in Australia, the U.K., and the U.S., the report presents a new taxonomy that categorizes the relational and opportunity benefits for young people that can be used to better understand program design choices. This video introduces the report, which can be accessed on the Wallace Foundation website.
