  Engaging America's youth can be tricky. The youth are willing to help but not all of them are willing to give it their all. They may pick one area that appeals to them but will not pick more than one area. If we could engage the youth to participate on more than one area the worked can grow successfully. Here is a list of where the youth are spending their time.
  The Broadly Engaged (21% of youth) fill many different leadership roles;
  * The Political Specialists (18%) are focused on voting and other forms of political activism;
  * The Donors (11%) give money but do little else;
  * The Under-Mobilized (14%) were registered to vote in 2010 but did not actually vote or participate actively;
  * The Talkers (13%) report discussing political issues and are avid communicators online, but do not take action otherwise; and
  * The Civically Alienated (23%) hardly engage at all.
  
  The positive aspect of today's youth is that the majority of them are involved in some form.
