Abstract Information: In this panel young people and adult partners from three projects will share lessons learned about the possibilities and pain points when working to keep youth programs and policies accountable to young people’s desires and needs. The featured projects include: 1) an intergenerational participatory evaluation team for a gap year initiative involving youth in paid work related to individual and community wellness 2) A longitudinal and intergenerational critical participatory action research project to use youth-generated data to drive policy change 3) a youth council for a government agency that involves young people who live in public housing across NYC in using research driven action to shape their communities and policy related to public safety in housing developments.
