The Changing Lives Outreach Program, Interpersonal Skills, and General Self-Efficacy

This paper examines the impact of The Changing Lives Outreach Program in developing self-efficacy and communication skills in undergraduate college students. It also aims to investigate the effusiveness of The Changing Lives Outreach Program’s effectiveness, focusing on its goals of developing soft skills in undergraduate psychology and behavioral health students. To assess these goals, researchers compared levels of these skills before and after these students participated in one month of The Changing Lives Outreach Program. The results showed a significant increase in both students’ self-efficacy and interpersonal communication skills over the course of their participation in one semester of The Changing Lives Outreach Program. This study emphasizes the importance of developing these schools to boost career success in these student populations after graduation.
