Résumé

How do young adults get involved in community and political life and what distinguishes those who are engaged from those who are not? In an attempt to answer these questions, the current study examines civic participation (CP) profiles, and their predictors, among 311 French-Canadian youths transitioning into adulthood. Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and multinomial logistic regressions were performed. Four CP profiles were identified: unengaged (N = 198; 64%), political specialists (N = 47; 15%), community service specialists (N = 31; 10%) and dual activists (N = 35; 11%). Higher civic attitudes, altruistic orientation, political attentiveness and educational aspirations predicted active CP profile membership. Implications for future research are discussed.
