The purpose of this paper is to utilize systematic review methodology to describe how Latinx youth engage in youth participatory action research (YPAR) in the secondary school context. Of the 961 articles in the database search, 13 studies were included in the final sample. I analyzed the studies thematically and coded for YPAR characteristics and principles. I analyzed the literature review corpus deductively according to Rodríguez and Brown's three guiding principles of participatory action research: situated and inquiry-based, participatory, and transformative and activist. All studies demonstrated various ways the principles apply to YPAR with Latinx youth. In conclusion, this systematic review describes the knowledge and skills Latinx students develop through PAR. This paper offers recommendations on how future research can empower Latinx communities to address and overcome obstacles in education.
