Description

Want to help youth be PSE change agents for health? Then join us for this webinar facilitated by the UC Davis Center for Regional Change, in collaboration with the UC Davis School of Education. Since FFY 2017, this team has supported youth-led research and action to promote healthy nutrition and physical activity, providing training, coaching, resource development and documentation support across California as a subcontractor of CalFresh Healthy Living, UC.

This one-hour session will provide an introduction to youth participatory action research (YPAR) and share implementation examples within CalFresh Healthy Living programming. The webinar will also provide an orientation to the Community Futures, Community Lore YPAR resources and the Stepping Stones Toolkit—the SNAP-Ed approved curriculum for YPAR project design and facilitation.

 
After this webinar, participants will:

  • Have a clear understanding of YPAR, its potential benefits and how it can be implemented within CalFresh Healthy Living programming;
  • Be familiar with key resources that support YPAR project planning and facilitation; and
  • Understand opportunities and considerations for launching a YPAR effort within their own programming.
