Abstract:
|
As observers from around the nation look for ways to raise civic engagement of young people both in and out of the classroom, a new nonpartisan, nonprofit campaign training program aimed at young people in Maine called “A Rising Tide...”(ART) has been in place from 2004 through the present.. ART offers a promising model to give students practical knowledge of how to run campaigns or run for office someday themselves. Drawing upon an interview with the executive director of the program and a survey of program graduates, this paper traces the development of ART, how it compares to other campaign training programs and how it affected its graduates. The final section of the paper considers ART as a model other states might choose to examine. |
