As result of unjust social inequalities, youth of color who live in economically disadvantaged urban communities are disproportionately confronted with risk factors. Because of their lived reality, this youth population is often recognized as being socially vulnerable and at-risk for experiencing behavioral health problems. To prevent the onset of and/or adherence to behavioral health problems, social work scholars and practitioners have begun to utilize community sport-based positive youth development (PYD) programs. These programs aim to promote the development and transfer of life skills that help to prevent behavioral health problems. While previous research has demonstrated youth that who are socially vulnerable and at-risk benefit the greatest from participation in these program; much remains unknown about the mechanisms and factors that contribute to life skill development and transfer.The current study the explored mechanisms and factors that contribute to the two interconnected, yet distinct processes of life skill development and life skill transfer. Using the Life Skills Transfer Model as guiding framework, this study explored the lived experiences of socially vulnerable and at-risk youth who participated in a community sport-based PYD program. Specifically, youth included in the study participated in the LiFEsports Summer Camp program, completed pretest and posttest surveys, entered the program with lower than average levels of life skills, and demonstrated growth in life skill measures from pre- to post-program. The final sample of youth participants included 7 boys and 6 girls, most identified as Black or African American (92.3%), were on average 11.08 years old, and 46.2% of youth fell within 100% of the poverty line.The study was conducted in two parts, using two different methods. Part I used semi-structured interviews to explore life skill development (Aim I). Part II used photo-elicitation interviews to explore life skill transfer (Aim II). Additionally, the photographs taken by the youth for the photo-elicitation interviews were used to investigate how particular life skills were applied in specific transfer contexts (Aim III).Findings revealed a variety of mechanisms and factors that contributed to the development and transfer of life skills. Such antecedents were related to the individual learner, psychological processes, the learning context, transfer context factors, and other social agents. For instance, youth in the study discussed developing life skills through overcoming challenging personal experiences. Youth in the study also explained how program staff framed, facilitated, and debriefed activities to promote life skill transfer. Moreover, findings illustrated that youth transfer life skills to a variety of different life domains and apply life skills very particular ways. Taken together, findings indicated that life skill development and transfer might be most effectively promoted through a multi-systems approach. Thus, to maximize learning, community sport-based PYD programs must engage with other transfer contexts and collaborate with other social agents. With more effectively community sport-based PYD programs, youth - particularly youth who are socially vulnerable and at-risk - have a better opportunity to develop critical life skills help to mitigate the onset and/or adherence to behavioral health problems.
