IMPACT & EXPERIENCES
Real experiences. Meaningful learning. Lasting impact on youth development.
What we observe when youth participate in FOOT-IQ programs.
WHAT WE MEAN BY “IMPACT”
What Impact Means at FOOT-IQ
At FOOT-IQ, impact is not measured by goals scored or games won.
Impact is observed through changes in how youth:
-
Communicate with others
-
Participate in group settings
-
Take responsibility
-
Respond to challenges
These changes are noticed during sessions and reflected in school, community, and everyday environments.
EXPERIENCES THAT DRIVE LEARNING
Learning Through Experience
FOOT-IQ programs are built around meaningful experiences that place youth in real-life situations.
Through structured activities, youth are invited to:
-
Make decisions under pressure
-
Communicate clearly with others
-
Collaborate toward shared goals
-
Reflect on their actions and behaviors
These experiences are intentionally designed to create moments of learning — not just activity.
