Many youth development programs, including the boys & girls clubs of america, feature belonging as a central piece in their theories of change. From a psychometric perspective, little is known about measures of belonging. This research examined the factorial validity, internal consistency, and predictive validity of scores from one measure of belonging to an after - school youth development program. Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a five - item measure from a calibration analysis that demonstrated "tight' cross validity in a cross - validation sample as well as factorial invariance between females and males. Internal consistency estimates for this 5 - item scale exceeded 0,90 in both samples. Belonging scores were positively related to actual program attendance over a 6 - month period, self -reported attendance in the last week, and protective factors found in communities. Belonging scores were moderately and negatively related to community - based risk factors.
