"Young people, according to a series of studies, don't generally care much about government, whether it's based in Washington, D.C., or any of the state capitals. They are not fascinated by the things that dominate a lawmaker's life, such as the process: negotiations, debates and how or why a bill eventually becomes law." (STATE LEGISLATURES) This article evaluates several programs that are "part of a national effort to reintroduce civic education to the nation's youth...in a way that both grabs and keeps their attention."
