Liberal Education special issue on civic engagement

I have a piece in the latest issue of Liberal Education that looks at civic engagement very broadly. I claim that efforts to increase or improve youth civic engagement are motivated by several different projects or goals–from using young volunteers to provide services to reducing gaps in political power. I quickly assess the merits of each project. The issue as a whole also contains articles by Barry Checkoway (former CIRCLE advisory board member and still a close colleague), Connie Flanagan (CIRCLE board member and frequent collaborator), Jim Youniss (frequent co-author), and Shawn Ginwright (CIRCLE board member).
