Why

Did you know?

Did you know that there are four common reasons why many young people are not interested in getting involved in civic life? First, some feel that they lack knowledge and understanding of how the political system works, making them hesitant to participate. Second, many young people believe that their individual voices do not have any impact on the larger political landscape, leading to a sense of apathy and disengagement. Third, the youth often feel that politicians do not represent their interests or address their concerns, further discouraging their involvement. Lastly, young people may perceive civic participation as time-consuming or not relevant to their daily lives, leading them to prioritize other activities. Understanding these reasons can help us identify strategies to encourage and empower youth to become active participants in shaping their communities.
