The Young Global Researchers Project is an authentic community engagement initiative to encourage students and educators to collaborate in learning more about key societal issues, and the actions needed to address them, through interactions with individuals and organizations in their local areas. This is to be achieved through solid field research, primary source engagement, and voicing their individual experiences, and those of others, through the written word and other forms of media. In addition, further investigation by the lead researchers will focus on identifying the different styles of research employed in the various cultural settings the project is active in, with analysis of the data collected hopefully leading to insights on how to prepare a more effective and universal approach to research for under-graduate level university students, in particular.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin
