Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: A growing number of educational programs seek to promote young people's participation in political and civic affairs. A common strategy for doing so is to provide students with opportunities to make a difference in their communities. Indeed, much research demonstrates a strong connection between an individual's sense that they can make a difference - their sense of efficacy - and their level of participation.     Does a curricular emphasis on opportunities for civic and political efficacy make sense? Over two years, we studied ten nationally recognized programs that engaged students in community-based experiences and aimed to develop students' civic and political commitments. By drawing on observations, interviews, and pre/post surveys that focus on changes in attitudes related to civic participation, we were able to contextualize students' sense of efficacy as civic actors and its relation to program goals.
