Since our founding nearly two decades ago, CIRCLE has produced hundreds of analyses of youth voting, civic education, and other aspects of young people's preparation for and participation in civic life. You can find our most recent and relevant work throughout this website.

In this section, you can find a selection of some of our older data and analyses, which remain valuable for understanding trends in youth civic education and engagement over time. We encourage you to explore this content with an understanding that it often reflects the best available data at the time, and that our understanding and approaches have evolved over time.
