We're beaming! My LA2050 grantee, the Los Angeles Promise Zone, created the Young Ethnographers Program Guidebook to instruct others to replicate and enable similar research-oriented efforts in their neighborhoods. Their My LA2050 grant gave students the opportunity to survey residents of the Los Angeles Promise Zone, and to measure residents' experiences that would help inform neighborhood policies.
These Young Ethnographers are tomorrow's civically engaged leaders. Check it out and share the guidebook!
