Research-Based Positive Youth Development

At B Inspired, we are committed to providing research-based positive youth experiences that help young people build essential skills proven to support lifelong thriving. Through our membership with the Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative, we utilize Hello Insight, a nationally recognized data collection and evaluation tool, to measure the impact of our programs.

By aligning our programs with this research-based framework and leveraging Hello Insight’s evaluation tools, we ensure that every experience we provide is intentional, measurable, and impactful- helping our youth thrive both now and in the future.

With Hello Insight, we track critical short-term outcomes that are foundational to youth success:

  • Goal Orientation

  • Self-Confidence

  • Academic Self-Efficacy

  • Mastery Orientation

  • Contribution

  • Positive Identity

  • Self-Management

  • Social Skills

These short-term outcomes directly support important long-term outcomes, including:

  • Academic Performance

  • Health and Wellness

  • Positive Behavior

  • Reduced Risky Behavior

  • Career and Workforce Readiness

Our Model

Since the 1990s, the importance of the out-of-school time programming for children and youth grew in response to the needs of working families, concerns about challenging youth behaviors, and poor academic performance. There is a consensus on the belief that there are social and emotional benefits for children and youth who participate in high-quality after school programming. The social and emotional outcomes associated with after school program participation include increased self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, decreased behavior problems, improved communication skills, as well as an enhanced ability to effectively interact with peers and adults. (Little et. al, 2007).

 

B Inspired Philadelphia is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization leading the movement to empower youth to be active players in creating a healthier future. We partner with non-profits, schools, after-school programs and youth organizations to provide our wellness program that teaches and promotes healthy choices and active lifestyles using existing enrichment experiences and providing opportunities in wellness, athletics, arts, and community engagement.

Why Choose B Inspired Philadelphia

One size does not fit all, and we believe the same for our program. Whether you are looking for weekly classes or a one-day workshop, we will personally work with you to develop the optimal program for your school/organization.

We treat each program with individual attention & customize our session to fit your situation
