Abstract
This essay investigates whether the generally positive relationship between membership in voluntary associations and political engagement that has been observed for adults in many countries also holds true for young Canadians who are becoming marginalized from democratic life. Drawing on survey data, the study assessed the impact of organizational type on youth involvement in conventional and unconventional political activities. It found that affiliations with certain voluntary organizations in the secular and religious domains exerted a significant impact on the likelihood of joining a political party. Some apolitical and political associational memberships in the secular domain were associated with a higher incidence of unconventional political activism. The impact of associational memberships on turnout and expressions of political interest, however, was largely neutral for Canadians under the age of 30. The findings show that different organizational affiliations lead to different civic outcomes for young Canadians.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
