This article elaborates upon a model used to engage marginalized young people in a longitudinal study of youth transitions. The model PARTH elaborates upon a set of principles that were successfully used to engage marginalized young people in a 6-year project. PARTH principles focus researcher attention on the ways they think about and relate to young people and they support researchers to empowerment and the exercise of personal agency by young people. The model was instrumental in achieving high retention rates that exceeded 89% across the 6-year study.
