Summary

This study tested a four-week, in-person leadership program for young people aged 16-24 who have recently left homelessness. The program was co-designed with youth and coaches to build strengths and identity capital—like a sense of purpose and confidence. Researchers measured how well the program worked by tracking attendance, feedback, and changes in participants' self-reported goals and knowledge.
