How can we get the youth in Portland to be more politically engaged?

How can we get the youth in Portland to be more politically engaged? In this project, I have designed a website targeted towards the youth of Oregon. According to the United States Census, 18-29year-olds account for nearly 22 percent of the voting-age population, and are also the least interactive voting age demographic. This website provides them with easier access to government/community resources, and pushes them to be more active in their political community by providing a break down ifthe usage of these resources. In general, young people are less politically engaged than older people. The youth of Portland follow this trend—they tend to be less engaged in their political community due to the struggles of not understanding how to use their resources and being disengaged with their city’s politics. My website provides an easy to follow guide on how to use and access city resources, unbiased information, and ways to get involved in their community. For example, the website delves into what a council agenda is, and its items. In my process of making this website, I will curated information from sources like the Portland government website, the Oregon legislature website, academic articles, other government resources, encyclopedias, and podcasts. PDX Future Voters provides all with a basic understanding of government terminology and proceedings, as well as Oregon and Portland specific knowledge.
