AB  - Physical activity-based positive youth development (PYD) programs often aim to 
      foster character development. This study examined youth perspectives of character 
      development curricula and the impact these activities have on their lives within 
      and beyond the program. This case study examined youth from low-income families 
      in a physical activity-based summer PYD program that integrated one character 
      concept (respect, caring, responsibility, trust) in each of 4 weeks. Participants 
      (N = 24) included a cross section of age, gender, ethnicity, and past program 
      experience. Semi-structured interviews were analyzed using inductive thematic 
      analysis and constant comparative methods. Thirteen themes were grouped in four 
      categories: building highquality reciprocal relationships; intrapersonal 
      improvement; moral reasoning and understanding; and rejection, resistance, and 
      compliance. The findings provide participant-centered guidance for understanding 
      youth personal and social development through physical activity in ways that are 
      meaningful to participants, which is particularly needed for youth in low-income 
      communities with limited youth programming.
