Empowering the Next Generation of Changemakers

June 30, 2025

For years, the Rennie Center has worked to build the capacity of educators, leaders, and community members to use research and data to drive meaningful improvements in education. Our Student Changemakers program recognizes that students themselves can lead this work, too. Launched in 2022, Student Changemakers empowers young people to become the change they want to see through a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) process. By applying classroom learning to authentic challenges, students grow into informed, engaged citizens ready to shape their communities—both now and in the future.
