Many students question whether they should get involved in politics. High schoolers predominately aren’t old enough to vote, so they may worry that their voice doesn’t matter.
1. BECOME WELL-INFORMED
The most critical first step every student should take is to become well-informed. Many of the most pressing issues of the day are complicated.
2. ATTEND TOWN HALLS, SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, AND CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
Town halls, school board meetings, and city council meetings can be exceptional learning opportunities. Usually, they focus on local issues in your student’s area.
3. WATCH DEBATES
Debates can give students a chance to hear about multiple viewpoints on an issue. During election years, debates are essential resources.
