Theory of Change
Take a Hike Program Model & Theory of Change
Our program model is built on more than two decades of student outcomes and academic research. Explore the Theory of Change to understand how we support young people through school-based mental health, land-based learning, and a strong sense of community.
Over two decades, Take a Hike has discovered critical practice-based evidence as to what program ingredients help youth make positive changes. This practice-based evidence combined with existing empirical literature from education and psychology has resulted in a one-of-a-kind program in Canada.
