Action Research. The Youthprise Action Research Team engages young people in doing research that produces better data, brings young peoplesâ perspectives and energy to important issues, and helps organizations center themselves around the youth they serve. Youth voices are often left out of or exploited by the research process. At Youthprise young people are invited to safely and confidently ask the questions that adults cannot or will not ask. By including young peopleâs experiences and perspectives, we collect data that would otherwise be neglected in research design and implementation.
