Since 2016, the PRYDE Scholars program has integrated classroom learning and hands-on experience in community-engaged youth development research. PRYDE Scholars — juniors and seniors in the College of Human Ecology — work directly with Cornell research faculty to conduct translational research. In their final project, the students collaborate with community partners on research that addresses existing needs in the statewide 4-H Youth Development program.
Based on feedback from community partners, the team is using this grant to expand the program to include 4-H youth in the research process itself. With this approach, PRYDE can better ensure that the scholars have meaningful interactions with youth beyond data collection, and that their work supports partners’ educational goals.
