Episode notes

Joan VonDras sits down with Karis Chapman, a Youth Leader with Indivisible St. Louis, for a conversation about bringing a new generation into civic life and the political process.

Karis shares her perspective on what motivates young people, the barriers that can keep them from getting involved, and innovative ways organizations and campaigns can reach younger audiences where they are. Joan and Karis also discuss why creating space for young voices matters and how meaningful engagement can go beyond simply asking young people to vote.

It’s a conversation about participation, fresh ideas, and building the next generation of civic leaders.
