Abstract
Autumn 2025
ENACT: The Abraham Feinberg Educational Network for Active Civic Transformation 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 and community organizations to advance evidence-based policy. By engaging young people around the country in civic activism built on knowledge, cooperation, justice and integrity, ENACT is becoming a major voice addressing challenges to American democracy. In ENACT courses, students learn about participating in the legislative process at the state level, with a substantial hands-on component in which they engage directly in that process. Volume 3 continues the research started in volumes 1 and 2 to study the effects of ENACT courses on multiple aspects of students’ civic engagement activities.
