Our paid internships, which typically last five to seven weeks, require a 5-7 hour time commitment per week. These hours include in-person and virtual workshops, offline assignments, and peer-mentor meetings. Throughout the internship, our YAAH research team works closely with our interns to build relationships, enhance their understanding of research concepts, and foster their professional growth.
YAAH is involved in all steps of study design, implementation, community outreach, analysis, dissemination, and manuscript writing, as well as committed to sharing all research results with youth and key stakeholders to inform improved and inclusive policies and services for historically marginalized youth.
Here you will find YAAH's completed projects & community reports, our peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed publications co-authored with undergraduates with lived experience of homelessness or community youth and/or conducted with youth with lived experience team members, and recordings of our conferences & presentations.
