Abstract | Every four years during the presidential election season, the media focuses on the perceived apathy of young people, and many well-intentioned organizations zero in on mobilizing young voters. This strategy leads to a myopic focus on just registering students to vote without adequate attention given towards the larger task of growing voters and civically engaged students. This article discusses the following four core strategies schools can use to improve youth civic knowledge and participation during this election year: (1) fostering student voice; (2) understanding power and decision making; (3) taking informed action; and (4) providing holistic civic learning.
