This document describes a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) project conducted by a class of students. The students researched various social issues in their community through surveys, interviews, and reading research. They selected topics democratically and focused on issues like college pathways, school funding, and curriculum. For each topic, they investigated preliminary findings and connections to adolescent development, language/literacy, gender/sexuality, and representation of marginalized identities. The overall purpose of the YPAR project was for students to research local injustices and make recommendations to educators to enact positive changes.
