Over the course of our three year project, our research team took on several action projects to address what we were hearing in our research. We published a series of resource guides for young adults, educators, and counselors in Springfield, launched an Instagram campaign directed toward youth and young adults in Springfield, and piloted the Springfield Fellowship for Young Leaders, a cohort experience for young adults wanting to build their networks and explore their goals.
Check out our most recent publication in Other Education, titled, “Youth Participatory Action Research on How Out-of-School Programs Can Support the Transition Out of High School: Moving Beyond “Getting Stuck”
On August 24, 2021, we hosted a virtual workshop for Out of School Time leaders from across the country to share what we have learned and support program leaders in thinking through actions they can take to support youth as they transition out of high school.
