Within our rapidly changing and growing global society, adolescent development into adulthood remains a pervasive issue that youth serving institutions and youth engagement practitioners across the world must address. While literature shows that there are numerous factors that contribute to the physical, mental, and social-emotional development of our next generation, little research exists related to the impact community-based, youth sports leaders within organizations/programs have on the health and well-being of historically marginalized communities. This research investigated how Black, community-based, youth sports leaders leverage themselves as critical brokers for marginalized communities. The purpose of this interview study, guided by a critical brokerage perspective, was to learn how Black, community-based, youth sports leaders within organizations create brokering orientations and utilize their social and/or cultural capital to serve and uplift marginalized communities. This study focused on Black youth sports leaders who engage in critical brokering orientations to positively impact historically marginalized communities. These leaders engaged in this work to support adolescent development into adulthood and to eliminate inequities that exist within marginalized communities.
