The Need for Accessible Youth Arts Programing in Main South
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project assessed the accessibility of youth arts programs during COVID-19 delivered by government and non-government organizations in Worcester Mass. The project, sponsored by Main IDEA of Worcester, specifically evaluated the impacts on arts programs due to COVID-19. An audit of programs was conducted along with a survey of youth organization directors and a survey of Worcester residents. Interviews were conducted with arts program directors and grant program officials. It was found that arts programs transitioned to virtual delivery, suffered staff layoffs, and were faced with lower youth enrollment. The project recommended that Main IDEA increase its staff, expand its arts programming, and provide mobile hotspots for under-resourced families with limited internet connectivity.
