For Young Scholars, A Civic Engagement Summer In Chattanooga

A view of downtown Chattanooga along the Riverfront.(The Enterprise Center)How can communities with low voter turnout improve civic engagement from people where they live - especially from young people - in a divided nation with a polarized electorate?This summer, students from the Class of 2027 at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill - the Morehead-Cain scholars - tackled that question during their visit to Chattanooga, hosted by the Enterprise Center.They told their stories - and they shared what they learned._____Our thanks to Mary Helen Montgomery of The Enterprise Center for arranging our conversation.
