A Practice Matrix for Involving Young People in Evaluation: Possibilities and Considerations
Richards-Schuster, Katie; Plachta Elliott, Sara
American Journal of Evaluation, v40 n4 p533-547 Dec 2019
Youth participatory evaluation (YPE) engages young people in the evaluation process. Over the last 20 years, the field has emerged, but more work is needed as evaluators explore the potential for youth participation within their own evaluation practices. This article describes a practice-oriented matrix for visualizing and conceptualizing the role of young people in evaluation. In this article, we describe the matrix, provide examples from practice to illustrate its potential, and raise considerations for the field, including the role of adults in YPE, and the benefits and limitations for youth and for the evaluation process. We conclude with potential future directions of YPE for the field.
