Drawing on experiences with the Civic Mobility in the Heartland research project, this roundtable discussion will offer a space to share findings and discuss next steps of a student-led, mixed methods research project that uncovers the ways young people engage within their civic ecosystems in the Heartland of the United States. Specific attention is given to findings and experiences of youth researchers around civic access, civic value, and civic power, and how centering youth voices and participation in civic engagement research can generate new research findings and opportunities for young people to contribute to civic life and research.
