Abstract: Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is an emancipatory practice that may be used to facilitate meaningful discourse related to exploring postsecondary, college, and career pathways among youth. Through collaborative processes and consensus decision making, youth engage in YPAR as a process that develops collaborative research, teamwork, and shared leadership skills. We describe the applications of YPAR where school counselors work alongside youth to collectively examine constraints and opportunities related to college and career access. Engaging youth in YPAR has the potential to elevate young people's perspectives and experiences and give them a voice in promoting change in their local school communities. Often, outcomes of YPAR projects lead to action taken in the local school community, such as curricula changes and school-community projects. When youth feel empowered through these efforts, they may also feel more connected, thereby enhancing a sense of school community. In this essay and discussion article, we describe YPAR, including implications for school counselor practice.
