Kid City invites you to join us and Petrona Garcia (High School Program Coordinator) at Social Justice Partners of LA's Fast Pitch on April 23! Witness the power of community and connect with like-minded individuals committed to social justice.

Youth Participatory Action Research is one of Kid City's most popular programs, and one that empowers young people to use their voices to advocate for themselves and their communities in underrepresented spaces -- including academia. Come learn about its potential to mobilize youth and transform academic research!

At Kid City, we are envisioning the future of what research can be. For the last year and a half, Petrona has been building Kid City's Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) program, which introduces high school students to academic research, and shows them how to leverage knowledge to transform their communities.

"WE ARE TRANSFORMING THE TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC RESEARCH SYSTEM TO ONE THAT POSITIONS YOUTH OF COLOR AS LEADING RESEARCHERS WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES." -- PETRONA GARCIA
