    Children from larger families were more likely to join a skill-development program. This increased participation probability when a sibling also joined, highlighting family influence on program engagement.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Development
    • Sociology
    • Community Programs

    Background:

    • Understanding factors influencing children's participation in extracurricular activities is crucial for program development.
    • Children in low-income housing complexes may face unique barriers and facilitators to program engagement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the factors associated with participation in a non-school skill-development program.
    • To examine the relationship between family characteristics and program enrollment among children in a specific housing complex.

    Main Methods:

    • The study focused on children residing in a rent-to-income housing complex in Ottawa, Ontario.
    • Data was collected on program participation and non-participation.
    • Statistical analysis was used to identify differences between participants and non-participants, particularly concerning family size and sibling participation.

    Main Results:

    • Sibship size was the primary differentiator between participating and non-participating children.
    • Children from larger families demonstrated a higher probability of participating in the program.
    • A significant positive correlation was observed between a child's participation and their sibling's participation.

    Conclusions:

    • Family dynamics, specifically the number of siblings and sibling involvement, play a significant role in children's engagement with skill-development programs.
    • Interventions aimed at increasing participation should consider family-level strategies.
    • The findings suggest that peer influence within a family unit can be a powerful motivator for program enrollment.
