The Arrowhead Business Group (ABG) Curriculum is a 22-session youth entrepreneurship/life-skills intervention delivered by trained American Indian paraprofessionals from the community to mixed-gender groups of approximately 25 youth. The intervention is delivered over a 3 night/4 day camp along with weekend workshops once a month for 6 months during the academic year. Depending on the time of enrollment, subjects will receive follow-up assessments at 6-month intervals for up to 36-months post-intervention. (Subjects in this cohort will also receive the activities associated with the control condition.)

The Recreational League Control Condition will be led by local American Indian study staff who are experienced with Johns Hopkins camps and community-based Apache sports programs. Sports and recreational activities will be conducted on 3 Saturdays during the academic year to mixed gender groups of approximately 50 participants.

Arrowhead Business Group (ABG) is a culturally tailored entrepreneurship/life-skills intervention, which features instruction from American Indian paraprofessionals in an effort to decrease drug use, depressive symptoms, hopelessness and other high-risk behaviors among youth while improving their school performance and college/career aspirations.
