Abstract: This case study sheds light on the reading and writing practices of Gen Z girls and how their literacy plays a role in their understanding of gender identify formation, leadership development, and their social awareness. The Listening Guide was combined as a method of analysis with youth participatory action research in the form of autoethnography. Participants were positioned as "adolescent scholars" who actively shared their personal literacy artifacts as evidence of ways that they emphasize their relationships with friends, as well as non-binary, expansive views on gender, and for more attention to be paid to mental health concerns in their schools and in their generation. Critical literacy played a role in its ties to leadership development, and the ways in which active literacy projects can play a role in youth's understanding of gender and other aspects of identity. Implications include ways for schools to integrate students' voices, agentive leadership, and active literacies in educational planning and research.
