Hey all, switching gears a bit to talk about a subject I'm really passionate about and I think is important, especially for young people. Political literacy is having the knowledge and understanding of political systems and processes, especially ones we regularly engage in. With the increase in political interest, activism, and advocacy I'm seeing from young people across the globe, it's even more important that we put this topic front and center in our lives and learn about how politics works.
I'm no expert in this field, but I do want to help you along your journey's by sharing political literacy information. Regardless of your position in politics: active or not, I hope videos like these can help you!

About Me:
My name is Andrew! I started this channel because I fundamentally believe that youth are the needed changemakers in society, but have to overcome so many obstacles (academics, what to get involved in, how to make a difference in your community, mental health, socializing, etc.). Student life can be exciting, but comes with challenges: so I'm here to (hopefully) help you navigate it all.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment! Or send me an email at thecivicstudent@gmail.com.
