Exploring the Role of Partnerships in Youth Arts Programming: A Case Study of Project Jericho

Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Arts Policy and Administration.
This case study explores the role of partnerships in creating and implementing youth and family arts programming at Project Jericho, an arts organization located in Springfield, OH. Narrative interviews, document analysis, and participant observation are used to examine the relationships between Project Jericho and its partners—Clark State Community College, the Clark County Department of Job and Family Services, and the Clark County Juvenile Court. Included in the study is a discussion of the role partnerships play in increasing the scope and instrumentality of the arts to address larger community change and capacity building. The study also explores Project Jericho as a model of positive youth development, with an emphasis on relationship building and pro-social attitudes toward youth and family programming. Findings suggest that when arts organizations are central in a larger network of pro-social partnerships and community resources, they can be the impetus for great community change. A summary of Project Jericho’s success factors is followed by implications for the field and suggestions for future research.
