Center for Youth Political Participation

The Eagleton Institute of Politics’ Center for Youth Political Participation at Rutgers University–New Brunswick advances the political learning and engagement of young people and equips them to be active citizens and leaders. For young people to assume their place in the political process, the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of political participation must be taught. Through education, research, and public service, the Center for Youth Political Participation plays a lead role locally, regionally, and nationally in fostering and promoting the active citizenship and leadership of future generations.
