Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR)

The Youth Action Lab is a Youth-Nex and Equity Center Initiative that partners with local teachers, schools, and youth-serving organizations to train and support youth, particularly those from historically marginalized communities, in using research to improve their lives and communities. The Youth Action Lab curriculum engages youth as scientists in all aspects of the research process, from developing research questions to analyzing data and using findings to inform solutions. Through Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR), young people learn to systematically research issues they care about and take action to address them. Learn more about YPAR in this video produced by youth involved in the Lab.
