CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeYouth Researchers Lead Community Transformation
Kid City’s Youth Participatory Action Research centers BIPOC teens by creating a space for self-discovery, inclusivity, and action. As they learn to leverage the power of academic research, teens transform academia from being historically about extracting information from Black, Indigenous, communities of color, to one that recognizes their lived experiences and contributions. Teens own the research from start to finish, and their findings are the foundation for creating a transformational action project to uplift BIPOC communities.
