Now into our second decade, UP for Learning grew from a demonstration project of the importance of youth voice in school reform into what it is today.
Just as student-centered learning requires a partnership between youth and adults, building public understanding for change must be built upon this same fundamental partnership between the two largest stakeholder groups in education.
NATIONAL YOUTH-ADULT PARTNERSHIP ADVOCACY is a focus of the work of UP for Learning. We engage in policy advocacy, host conferences, participate in national school change organizations, offer keynotes and workshops, serve as a research learning laboratory, and pursue publication opportunities.
Our fundamental value is to seek equity and justice.
