CIRCLE's analysis of 2022 survey data on Black youth highlights an interest in civic engagement but a lack of the information needed to participate.
Our recent paper adds to existing scholarship on young people's interest in running for elected office, the barriers they perceive, and ways to support them.
A new CIRCLE white paper outlines inequities in who is encouraged to seek elected office, and how we can support more young candidates.
Our work will help us understand how to make pathways to elected office and civic engagement more equitable and accessible.
