Think critically about a social justice issue of your choice through one of OAG’s research projects.

You(th) can propose a research project on a social justice topic you’re passionate or curious about. You(th) can also jump on board our current projects and help carry the momentum.

All research applications are reviewed by OAG’s youth advisory board, who then decide by consensus whether or not to support a project.

Why research with OAG? We have funds, tools, and connections to help make your project easy & effective. We’ll connect you to other youth interested in your subject, and to organizations active in your issue area. Also, we help put your work to work for social justice, through the publication and distributions of your articles & research.

All accepted research projects receive a $100 award. OAG is always accepting research project applications.
