Abstract

This study explored the relationship between adult support in decision-making and youth civic engagement. Youth Voices, a community-based program, aims to support high school students in understanding positive youth development opportunities. Participants in the program attended weekly meetings and were compared to a control group with no similar intervention. Both groups completed Likert-scale surveys. Results indicate that higher levels of perceived adult support are associated with increased youth civic engagement.
