Katie Hindman is a Ph.D. student in Community Resources and Development at Arizona State University. She holds a Master of Science in Community Resources and Development with a concentration in Nonprofits and NGOs, along with graduate certificates in Nonprofit Leadership and Management and Social Entrepreneurship and Community Development. She also earned a Bachelor of Science in Nonprofit Leadership and Management and a certificate in Cross Sector Leadership from ASU.
Her research focuses on positive youth development, youth sports, youth voice and empowerment, sport for development, philanthropy, nonprofit organizations, and community development. She is particularly interested in how sport and nonprofit systems can be structured to expand access, strengthen inclusion, and position young people as active contributors in their communities.
Her commitment to this work was shaped by living and working in the Dominican Republic with Amigos de las Américas, where she engaged in community based youth development through a full cultural immersion experience. Through her doctoral training, she seeks to advance scholarship that informs practice and supports more equitable and sustainable approaches to youth development locally and globally.
