N1 - Funding Information:
Overall, this project provided rich and stimulating learning opportunities for members of the SEP lab and provided benefits to ZYEP. The ZYEP director has a small staff with many responsibilities, and they are limited by time and resources. The program was assessed and the results were shared with the ZYEP staff, parents of ZYEP athletes, and Billy Mills and his Running Strong staff who funded the project. Helping assess programs such as these provides important information that can assist programs in securing further funding. The university lab was able to assist by writing a grant that funded the project and by providing data illustrating the many positive outcomes of sport participation for the Zuni youth.

N2 - The Zuni Youth Enrichment Project (ZYEP) is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for children living in the Pueblo of Zuni, a rural Indigenous community. Sport and exercise psychology scholars have highlighted the need for greater diversity in applied sport psychology research, arguing specifically for greater exposure to applied work with populations from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds. This paper describes a collaboration between an Indigenous youth program and a sport psychology lab that included the development of a coaching workshop for a sport-based positive youth development program. Collaborative efforts and the coaching workshop activities are shared, along with lessons learned.
