Center for Political Participation

The Center for Political Participation is dedicated to fostering an appreciation for the vital link between an engaged, active citizenry and a healthy democracy.

CPP To that end, the Center seeks new strategies and mechanisms for promoting political participation among all citizens, with a particular focus on young Americans. The Center for Political Participation opened on October 18, 2002 with the goals of helping all Americans better understand the importance of political action and getting involved. The Center has established programs for three audiences - our students (Campus Activities), scholars nationwide (Scholarly Research), and citizens of the wider community (Educational Outreach).
