The Eagleton Institute of Politics’ Center for Youth Political Participation at Rutgers–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.

The Collaborative Center for Community Engagement is dedicated to supporting campus-community partnerships to advance the public good in our New Brunswick and Piscataway communities, throughout the state of New Jersey, and beyond.

Each program has its own requirements, application, and training process. Visit each website to learn more about the unit.
