The following nine-videos are designed to increase the capacity of adults who want to collaborate with young people for youth participatory action research (YPAR). This project is made possible through a partnership between University of California Berkeley, Innovations 4 Youth, Colorado School of Public Health-Center for Public Health Practice with support from the YPAR Network. It is the network’s intention that watching the modules will help develop the knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy of educators conducting this work. Each 20-30 minute video is designed to support adults to plan and execute YPAR.
