Project Title Elks Hoop Shoot - Developing Gritty Kids (Chicago, IL)
Project Topics Data Management
Skills & Expertise Communications Quantitative Research
Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity
Through the Hoop Shoot program, the Elks have been developing and reinforcing grit for 50 years—long before researchers and experts concluded that grit is so important for our children. We need a better way to quantify grit and to establish KPIs to measure and track it. 

Project Address: 2750 N. Lakeview Drive, Chicago, IL
Project Synopsis: Activities/Actions Required
To best understand the program and its history, we suggest:
  • Interviews with staff and volunteer leadership 
  • A review of the program and 2018 evaluation
  • Harvard Grit survey 
  • Watch the Griteo series, videos of past national finalists and their families talking about how the program has helped them develop grit. 
Project Synopsis: Expected Results
The program has heaps of qualitative data. The 2018 evaluation provided some quantitative data. We want to be able to measure grit in participants in the higher levels of the free-throw tournament and to develop KPIs to evaluate and promote the program.
