Forum Focus: Countering Structural Racism

In this issue, we continue to explore how youth activism can be used as a powerful tool for increasing both personal development and collective engagement around the issues of race and racism. We review the field research recently completed by the Youth and Racial Equity (YRE) Project, led by the Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity in collaboration with mosaic consulting; talk with Shawn Ginwright, professor of Sociology and Ethnic Studies at Santa Clara University; and profile the efforts of Urban Underground and Asian/Pacific Islander Youth Promoting Advocacy Leadership (AYPAL).
