Brief Program Description
In this session, participants will learn the value of Youth-Led Participatory Action Research (YPAR) as a youth development program model to effectively increase student engagement and build a safe school climate. Recent research on student leadership classes utilizing YPAR as their program model revealed significant evidence that attendance and academic rates each increased when students engaged in YPAR activities. So, what is YPAR? Simply put, “Stop doing the research on the kids and let the kids do the research on themselves!”
