This article highlights how youth researchers representing two non-profit organizations, ByKids4Kids, and En Nuestra Lengua, share the results of a Youth Participatory Action Research study. In this project, youth draw upon triangulated data to examine community engagement in underrepresented US Latino/a students (ages 13-17) who served as volunteer book club facilitators to young Spanish-heritage language learners in the virtual 'Kindles4COVID' project. The research draws on integrated critical social frameworks that center on the Latino adolescent community and cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005) while taking into greater account language and race (Alim et al., 2016). Outcomes demonstrate the many ways in which Latino teens leverage elements of cultural capital to become empowered as community leaders. Following YPAR tenets, power was shared between youth and senior (adult) co-authors in designing, carrying out, and writing up this study.
