SayPro is empowering young minds by promoting student-driven research projects on local issues. In partnership with the United States Peace Corps, SayPro supports learners as they investigate challenges within their communities and propose innovative, evidence-based solutions. These research projects develop critical thinking, teamwork, and civic engagement. SayPro believes that students are not just learners—they are problem-solvers with unique perspectives. Through mentorship and structured support, SayPro enables youth to explore topics like environmental sustainability, gender equity, public health, and education. SayPro proves that when students research real-world issues, they gain the power to understand and improve the world around them.
SayPro provides training on research methodology, data collection, analysis, and presentation. With Peace Corps assistance, SayPro connects students with local mentors, community stakeholders, and subject matter experts who help guide their projects. SayPro encourages interdisciplinary thinking and supports projects that integrate science, technology, arts, and social sciences. SayPro also organizes school exhibitions, research fairs, and digital platforms where youth present their findings. These public forums build confidence and promote a culture of inquiry and dialogue. SayPro ensures that every student feels their voice, curiosity, and contribution matter deeply.
SayPro collaborates with schools, universities, and municipal departments to align research topics with real community needs. In partnership with the Peace Corps, SayPro promotes student collaboration with local organizations and leaders. SayPro also awards small grants and scholarships to support the implementation of selected student proposals. By investing in youth-led solutions, SayPro shows that innovation and leadership can begin at any age. SayPro believes students learn best when their work has meaning and impact beyond the classroom. SayPro fosters ownership, pride, and agency in every project.
SayPro measures success by evaluating research quality, community relevance, and follow-up actions taken. With Peace Corps collaboration, SayPro expands this initiative to more schools and integrates it into national education programs. SayPro is committed to helping students become changemakers through curiosity, evidence, and purpose. By valuing their ideas and supporting their growth, SayPro transforms students into researchers—and researchers into community builders. SayPro believes the best way to shape the future is to empower young people to understand and improve the present.
