NEW BIG SKY POLL FOCUSES ON BARRIERS TO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
The latest Big Sky Poll from the University of Montana just finished up a year-long investigation with nearly 1,000 respondents in an attempt to understand how and why individuals participate in civic engagement.
More than 40% of participants were young people in Montana, including the unique perspective of Native American youth in the state.
Sarah Rinfret is professor and chair of the UM Department of Public Administration and Policy, who conducted the poll, which was funded by the Headwaters Foundation.
