Thesis (Ph.D.)--Carleton University (Canada), 2010.

This dissertation identifies some of the current conceptions of citizenship as it pertains to youth. Typically viewed as nothing more than citizens in the making or problem citizens, youth are often overlooked within discussions of citizenship and their voices often silenced. This exploratory research hears from 429 youth from across the country through focus groups and an online survey to better understand how young Canadians conceive of citizenship, traditional forms of politics and volunteer activity. Findings show that despite lowered traditional political involvement (i.e. voting, party membership), youth give great value to community participation and involvement and their levels of participation reflect this perceived value. Based on these findings, a new broadened interpretation of citizenship that would acknowledge and value diverse forms of participation is put forth. This includes traditional and non-traditional forms of political involvement as well as volunteerism and extra-curricular activity allowing for a renewed interest in the current political system and greater value being given to the importance of social cohesion and capital as they contribute to the significance of citizenship for the individual.
