Abstract
Young people today are highly politically motivated. And yet, their political participation rates have remained low. Young people are less likely to vote. When compared to older populations, they are less likely to volunteer or be involved in nonprofits. Our research shows that young people face significant hurdles in their impact journeys. A lack of direction on where to get started, pessimism, and a lack of faith in the government are among the most regularly mentioned hurdles. We propose the creation of a platform that provides today’s youth with an avenue for social change, an action-oriented way of reading the news, and a list of nonprofits they can work with. We deployed the platform to over 3,000 high school students across the globe. A significant majority of our participants reported the platform to be helpful. We make the case for creating more such platforms to better engage the youth.
