Abstract
The Educational Network for Active Civic Transformation (ENACT) is a national, non-partisan program based at Brandeis University that engages undergraduates at colleges and universities in state-level legislative change by teaching them to work with legislators, staffers, and community organizations to advance policy. By engaging young people around the country in civic activism built on knowledge, cooperation, justice and integrity, ENACT is becoming a major voice in addressing challenges to American democracy. In ENACT courses, students learn about participating in the legislative and advocacy process at the state level, with a substantial hands-on component in which they engage directly in that process. Volume 2 continues the research started in volume 1 to study the effects of ENACT courses on multiple aspects of students' civic engagement activities.
