Youth Driven Development in Aboriginal Communities: Impact evaluation of the Active Circle Initiative
FY 2011-12
Summary
This 3 year research project aims to investigate the impact of the Active Circle initiative- a novel, youth driven approach to the development and delivery of sport, physical activity, and recreation programs in Aboriginal communities across Canada. The main objective of this project is to assess the impact of this community development approach to physical activity, sport, and recreation as a strategy for promoting positive youth development, youth holistic health, and community capacity. We will use mixed methods from indigenous and western research traditions to investigate community-level and individual-level impacts in 12 communities that partner with the Active Circle initiative.
