Abstract
- Arts programming can amplify youth voice, creative self-expression, and promote civic engagement and social change. This paper describes a case study of a youth participatory action research at an arts organization in the northeast of the U.S. that promoted youth participation, critical reflection, and action. Field observations and individual interviews with adult and youth staff were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings suggest YPAR represented an opportunity for youth to develop critical consciousness, leadership skills, and create change. Adults integrated opportunities for youth to lead in arts dissemination and action initiatives. Implications and challenges including sustainability were identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
