Abstract	The nation faces a youth citizenry that is disengaged and lacks the necessary knowledge, skills and dispositions to participate in and carry out their civic duties. This ECS Policy Brief summarizes the state-level goals and accomplishments of the Youth Legislative Engagement project and is intended for state policymakers, education leaders and youth engagement advocates. Recommendations build cooperation between state legislators and students to enable students to develop civic competencies to contribute to our democracy now and in the future. This brief outlines a sustainable course of action, which will reverse the current trend of youth disengagement. The recommendations are based upon successful models found in Maine and Michigan and the experiences that have been implemented in the six partnering states. (Contains 3 endnotes.) (ERIC).
