Abstract:

Using two unique data sets, we examine the factors that contribute to civic and political engagement among high school and college students both in and outside of their institutions, focusing on the roles those institutions play in facilitating engagement, and on the connection between these early activities and later engagement among young adults. Our analysis indicates that high schools provide important pathways to early adult participation. Providing opportunities to volunteer, facilitating classroom discussions about politics, reinforcing service work with classroom exchanges, and teaching specific civic skills, all lead to greater levels of engagement both during and after graduation. Involvement with overtly political organizations in high school (not just any organization) also promotes later engagement. Colleges also promote engagement by offering volunteer work, engendering an environment in which students believe they can influence the administration, and, in the curriculum, requiring students to keep up with politics and national affairs.
