i4Y is made up of scholars who work closely with and learn from practitioners, policy makers, and young people themselves (both in the U.S. and internationally) on issues such as youth violence, homelessness, reproductive health, and educational inequalities.
We build partnerships between faculty from diverse fields, students and trainees at UC Berkeley with adolescents and community collaborators. From this work, we develop, evaluate and diffuse innovative interventions, practices, and policies. This includes pursuing projects within our 4 initiatives as well as in training and mentorship.
