Laureus Sport for Good USA is excited to launch a new initiative with long-term partner Hello Insight, which will grant discounted platform access to Sport for Good City Members. Through this “Impact Partnership,” Sport for Good City Member Organizations will be able to access Hello Insight’s impressive suite of tools for less and continue to build up sector-level data on the power of sport for development.
Hello Insight (HI) is an online evaluation and learning platform that more than 400 sports organizations use to better understand, enhance, and share their impact. The platform measures social and emotional learning (SEL) capacities – key predicators of academic success, career readiness, and long-term well-being (CASEL, 2026). HI provides research-based, nationally tested surveys that evaluate young people’s SEL development and the positive youth development experiences that promote it.
Join other sports-based youth development organizations (SBYD) using HI to capture the impact of sport when used intentionally.
In 2016, Laureus USA partnered with several other leaders in the space and created a sport-specific evaluation tool with Hello Insight — the “sports” tool. Following the release of the sports tool, Laureus USA published two reports with Hello Insight, Hitting a Homerun in SEL and A Deeper Dive: How Leading SBYD Organizations Support SEL Growth in Youth of Color. Both reports revealed that intentional SBYD work is more effective than other forms of youth programming in promoting SEL growth, especially for youth of color.
Hello Insight believes that strong organizations can empower their staff to employ stronger, research-based positive youth development practices with young people. Their theory of change emphasizes the importance of organizations and their staff as key to youth outcomes. HI “democratizes data” for all sizes of youth-serving organizations, and they seek to “close the evaluation gap” — see this article in Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR.)
