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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Co-Designed Strengths-Based Leadership Program
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical, community-based way to help young people leaving homelessness build confidence, purpose, and social connections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed feasibility study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's real-world impact on long-term outcomes remains unproven.

Study facts

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Eligible young people aged 16-24 years who have transitioned out of homelessness (e.g., no longer living in a shelter or couch surfing), defined as 3 consecutive months within the past 12 months, will be identified by community partners (note: for the purpose of this study, youth living in foster care will be considered homeless). This age mandate was chosen because this is the age group served by the community partners. The research team has chosen to target the first year of exiting homelessness because collective experience has shown that this can be a particularly precarious time for youth in terms of mental health challenges and risk of (re)experiencing homelessness (even if youth have attempted exits in the past). Inclusion Criteria: * Be able to provide free and informed consent. * Be able to understand English (leadership program and data collection will be conducted in English). * Have experienced homelessness (e.g., unstable housing arrangements including shelter stays, foster care, and couch surfing) for 3 consecutive months in the past 12 months. * Be able to consistently attend the four-week leadership program. Exclusion Criteria: * Enrolled in a program or study with similar features to the TYOH 2.5 leadership program.
