Getting Young People to Vote: Seven Tips for the Classroom
Kawashima-Ginsberg, Kei; Kiesa, Abby
Social Education, v83 n4 p194-199 Sep 2019
Young people must systematically learn to become voters, and this is especially the case for those who grow up with little to no access to structured civic opportunities like extracurricular activities and community organizing. With those principles in mind, and based on 2018 research and experience with practitioners and partners, the authors share seven teachable moments on youth civic and political engagement.
