All programs reviewed in this report include a civic engagement component -that is, community service, political activism, environmentalism, or other volunteer activities. The methods employed by the programs vary, but all of the programs involve at least one group component that emphasizes the social nature of civic engagement activities, and most combine life skills or civics curricula with opportunities to become engaged. Because many of the programs take place in a school setting, they use some combination of teachers and community volunteers to deliver the curriculum and lead volunteer activities. Most programs reviewed here are targeted toward youths in middle school and high school.  Click here for a list of programs evaluated in this report
