The nation faces a youth citizenry that is disengaged and |
|
lacks the necessary knowledge, skills and dispositions to |
|
participate in and carry out their civic duties. This ECS |
|
Policy Brief summarizes the state-level goals and |
|
accomplishments of the Youth Legislative Engagement |
|
project and is intended for state policymakers, education |
|
leaders and youth engagement advocates. Recommendations |
|
build cooperation between state legislators and students |
|
to enable students to develop civic competencies to |
|
contribute to our democracy now and in the future. This |
|
brief outlines a sustainable course of action, which will |
|
reverse the current trend of youth disengagement. The |
|
recommendations are based upon successful models found in |
|
Maine and Michigan and the experiences that have been |
|
implemented in the six partnering states. (Contains 3 |
|
endnotes.) |
