South Sacramento Youth Block CommunitiesYouth Block Report Project
About the Project:The South Sacramento Youth Block Reports Ethnographies Project is a youth voice and culture research project aimed at learning and understanding the cultural phenomena connecting youth who live in the South Sacramento area. The UC Davis School of Education, Center for Community School Partnerships (CCSP), conducted the ethnography research. CCSP’s work centers on research, evaluation, and technical assistance, connecting schools and communities to support student success, youth well-being, and collaborative community-school partnerships.
Fundamentally, the Youth Block Report ethnography research is about equity. A South Sacramento call to action for schools, families, universities, and community partners alike; significant disparities can be alleviated, but this monumental task demands partnership, cooperation, and prioritization. We hope the ethnography research will inform the efforts of the South Sacramento Building Healthy Communities Initiative by examining the voice and culture of the youth lived experiences.
