| The Youth
Action Research Institute (YARI) (formerly the National
Teen Action Research Center) of the Institute for
Community Research was formed in 1996 based on nearly
a decade of work on youth-led action research for
development, risk prevention, and social change.
YARI promotes the use of action research for personal,
group, and community development. Participants include
children, preadolescents, and youth of diverse ethnic
backgrounds as well as sexual minority youth. |
