Hi Maggie,
I just joined career village so not sure if you still want an answer. I would say if your in high school join the Democratic or Republican Town Committee, volunteer for a political campaign, start a voter registration drive in the school. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Maggie! I’m sorry no one’s answered your question yet. We're working hard to get it answered by Professionals with the best insights, but in the meantime I've included a link to a relevant Q&A here on CareerVillage.org that should be super helpful for you to read through.

For example, many cities have "sister city" organizations, where you can join in as a citizen to help develop good international relations and organizational skills. Several people on our city council started within the sister cities organization, so it's been a great entry point to bigger responsibilities. For science advocacy, at some point look into becoming a member of a professional organization. They are great networks that often include political advocacy as well....
