Transcripts
basically how I like to describe the
northside research team is a group of
young people who have a personal
connection to the north side or whether
they live there they live primarily
close there or they have family members
that live there or close friends or they
went to school there whatever the case
may be and it's basically reversing the
trickle-down effect that a lot of
corporate buildings tend to have so like
they do the research on the north side
oh how can we help these little people
on the north side and then they try to
give us that information as if we
wouldn't know so it's a bunch of you
basically grabbing the information for
themselves and then giving it to them
this research that we do is a lot more
thorough because we gain relationships
as we do the research you don't really
just always give people surveys with the
answer no questions a lot of the times
we try to build relationship that come
with those surveys on what those are so
it matters because we are the ones
experiencing these conditions and we
should be the worst as near rain our
story you feel like
the best investment that we
not put in but get out our money and our
time is tougher that we young people
because they have the energy they have
the time they have to know how and we
don't that there are a lot of hidden
gems in North Minneapolis and they're
more kids that are doing well that I'm
not but that's not what's highlighted
and we chose to bring that to light by
saying look all these kids have
something no they all shine all the time
they just don't get the opportunity to
do so on a broader scale any chance we
get to put them on there on stage that
bigger stage we're going to do it
because we know they have a lot to offer
it's really a leadership development
opportunity because we want are used to
be recognizes asset based instead of
decimal deficit base which is a real
common approach in social service
particularly I mean there's potential
for this
project in this type of work to go
community-wide in North Minneapolis to
go broader than that have a bigger
footprint and even to be replicated
nationally obviously in the context of
the environment where the projects would
be held as a director of solutions not
suspensions and the Minnesota black male
achievement Network we have a unique
perspective on the importance and value
of youth participatory research last
year we had a summit of young people we
brought together that really convened
and talked about what this issue is
around solutions and suspensions and
from that we were able to publish a
policy brief that gave voice and young
people and gave direction to the school
districts that were working with and and
these things can't really happen unless
there's somebody behind the scenes
that's really encouraging and supporting
the districts to do this work and that's
why I'm really excited about youth prize
in youth prizes involvement in this work
and supporting the young people and
making sure that it stays at the front
of people's attention because frequently
we have concepts or ideas that we really
want to see implemented but after two or
three years they kind of
away but when we engage our young people
but these solutions are they are the
ones that are holding the issue holding
the concern moving it forward
