This study investigates how family and school contexts during adolescence influence sustained civic engagement from adolescence through early adulthood. Utilizing data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002), the research employs multilevel logistic regression to examine predictors of consistent volunteering behaviors. Results indicate that parental involvement and parental community orientation significantly enhance the likelihood of sustained civic participation. At the school level, socioeconomic status, geographic setting, and availability of structured service-learning programs emerge as critical predictors of civic engagement over time. Notably, parental involvement demonstrated the strongest positive effect, highlighting the essential role. of family dynamics in fostering civic purpose. Conversely, school climate, although theoretically important, showed no significant statistical relationship. This study underscores the necessity of integrating both family and educational contexts in strategies aimed at promoting lifelong civic engagement, suggesting practical interventions for policymakers and educators to cultivate lasting community participation.
