Abstract
This article discusses how university faculty collaborated with community partners to host a youth civic engagement event for high school students. At the event, participants learned about leadership, civic engagement, and public service careers through presentations and hands-on activities led by public service practitioners and university faculty. Through a discussion about the event’s background, planning, and implementation, institutions may learn about one university’s experience with hosting a youth civic engagement event and use that experience to guide similar work.
