  • Summary

    Youth participatory action research (YPAR) engages youth in systematic processes of collectively identifying, analyzing, and addressing systems-level stressors, such as policies or practices that create unequal opportunities for young people to live, learn, and thrive. In this chapter, we first provide an overview of the history of YPAR. Next, we discuss key dimensions of power and empowerment within the YPAR process. Specifically, we explore YPAR in the context of educational settings via three case examples (i.e., a leadership class, a school club, and an after-school program). Lastly, applications of YPAR and future research are discussed.
