The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between sport, cultural, and educational components and the development of friendship, determination, courage, and equality among children in a local, sport-for-development (SFD) initiative. The three-month program was launched at a local Boys and Girls Club for children in third through fifth grade. A mixed-methods approach was used in the present study. Post-program interviews with children and their parents, combined with direct observations, revealed that the program played some role in developing all four outcomes. However, quantitative findings based on pre- and post-surveys indicated that over the three months, the children developed only respect for equality through the sport-based context. Qualitative findings also suggested that the physical/sport component was related more to the development of friendship and courage, whereas the cultural component combined with educational lessons contributed more to respect for equality. Finally, special events had the greatest influence on the participants' determination.
