A Guide to Outcomes Evaluation for the Steel Town Athletic Club's Athletic Development Program

Abstract

Steel Town Athletic Club (STAC) is an organization that focuses on providing inclusive and diverse athletic programming for Hamiltonians. In partnership with the Kiwanis Boys & Girls Club, STAC is piloting the Athletic Development program, which will provide high-level athletic development training and psycho-social development for high-school aged racialized youth. In order to communicate the value of its program to prospective funders, STAC developed a preliminary list of intended outcomes for the Athletic Development program. For this project, the McMaster Research Shop conducted a literature review in order to determine how to efficiently and effectively measure the impact of the Athletic Development program.
