Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is a process designed to engage teens ages 14-18 as a researchers to learn about and address a health issue in their community.

In sessions 2, 3, and 4, faculty and staff from Washington State University with experience implementing YPAR will walk through the 4-H YPAR curriculum including facilitation of sample activities. Practical considerations for using YPAR with youth including best practices, real-world examples, and how to use the YPAR approach for substance use prevention will be incorporated throughout. Session #4 will conclude with information on how to evaluate YPAR. Although live attendance is encouraged, all sessions will be recorded and distributed to those registered who cannot attend live.
