We transform graduation pathways, by co-creating them with young people, to be culturally-responsive and community-informed. Our Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) internship recruits and pays students to research graduate profiles and capstone projects. Interns gain research experience, engage with their communities and peers, and have the opportunity to share their voices with those who have positional power to make change.
