Youth-led Participatory Action Research (YPAR)

YPAR (Youth-led Participatory Action Research) is an approach to youth and community development based in social justice principles in which young people are trained to conduct systematic research to improve their lives, their communities, and the institutions intended to serve them.[1]

The Center for Studies of Boys and Girls’ Lives at the University of Pennsylvania hosts an annual roundtable gathering of organizations sponsoring YPARs. Member schools include Columbus Academy (Gahanna, OH), Georgetown Day School (Washington, DC), Greens Farms Academy (Greens Farms, CT), Greenwich Academy (Greenwich, CT), Lawrenceville School (Lawrenceville, NJ), Miss Porter's School (Farmington, CT), Phillips Exeter Academy (Exeter, NH), The Maret School (Washington, DC), and The Shipley School (Bryn Mawr, PA).[2]
