Based on our experience of engaging young people in community-based and participatory research, we created a resource which documents the lessons learned from that work, and specifically from the development and sustainability of McCreary’s Youth Research Academy (YRA).
A toolkit is also available, which is an abridged version of that resource. The toolkit contains some key questions and ideas that we hope might be helpful for anyone thinking about engaging youth as researchers, or in other ways as partners in the research process.
