A University-School-Community Collaborative

Code Switch is a university-school-community action research partnership powered by Touro University Nevada (TUN), local schools, and Teaching and Uniting Ladies to Inspire Positive Success (TULIPS).  Committed to equipping girls and young women of color with the knowledge, skills, and opportunity to advocate for themselves and their community-at-large, Code Switch provides participants with access to mentored relationships and activities centered in youth culture, as well as community sponsored field experiences to support leadership development, foster self-determination, and engagement in community service and youth-led community action.  To learn more about the work of Code Switch, we encourage you to visit the pages linked to this site.  Click on the photos below to learn more about Code Switch collaborators and partnering organizations.
