YPAR Conference

Join us for our 2025 YPAR Conference at Mann UCLA CS on Saturday, May 31, 2025.

What is Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR)?

“YPAR is a cyclical process of learning and action – research is done not just for the sake of it, but to inform solutions to problems that young people themselves care about.”

Mann UCLA CS high school students have been engaging in YPAR projects focused on topics of their choice. The conference is an opportunity to share their findings with the community to collectively work towards youth-centered solutions.

Our third annual Mann Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) Conference, themed, “Freedom Dreamers: Building Black and Brown Futures” will take place on Saturday, May 31st, 2025 from 9:00 AM-1:30PM at the Mann UCLA Community School.
