Teens aren’t as disengaged as you may think: What adults get wrong about adolescents’ civic contributions

5 months ago by mapto to c/resist

Young people don’t all contribute in the same way, and understanding the broader picture is the starting point for adults who want to support them.

In the first study, we identified four distinct patterns: Some teens were generally less engaged; this group represented 21% of our sample. Another 19% we called “Digital Advocates,” highly active online but less involved in face-to-face settings. A third group, 33% of our sample, we termed “Local Helpers,” more engaged in interpersonal and community-based helping. “Contributors” were our fourth profile type, making up 26% of our sample; they reported high engagement across all domains.
