YLI jump-starts a lifetime of civic engagement for the next generation by creating innovative technology-based projects that bring the American democratic process to life in your classroom. As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, the Center for Politics is dedicated to the idea that government works better when politics work better, and that politics works better when citizens are informed and active participants. We believe this process begins with our nation's youngest citizens!
