Abstract
Introduction. In modern conditions of becoming of a civil society and the constitutional state the public attention is concentrated on modern youth whose civic activity affects how the tasks set for society and the state will be implemented.
Purpose setting. The future of Russia is largely determined by the values that are emerging today in the communities of schoolchildren and students. In this regard, the objective of forming conceptual representations about the processes of formation of civic engagement of young people becomes to be relevant. The purpose of this study is to analyze the social capital of the individual as a factor influencing the civic activity of young people studying both at school and at university, including those who are representatives of the Russian movement of schoolchildren. Methodology and methods of the study. The paper provides a theoretical systematic and meaningful analysis of such variables that form social capital as the value attitudes of young people, the level of trust in various agents of influence and the strength of communication with them.
Results. The conducted correlation analysis confirmed the hypothesis that exists a relationship between these variables and the object of study. It is shown that modern youth is largely focused on solving their own problems, focused on the "inner circle", is not inclined to trust people in general, lacks solidarity values, concentrating on individualistic interests, and this significantly hinders their inclusion in the manifestation of civic activity. The exception is the representatives of the Russian movement of schoolchildren, who have a high level of trust in the state, patriotic ideals and willingness to interact with public organizations, they are prone to civic responsibility and social activity.
Conclusion. It is necessary to create mechanisms for the inclusion of young people in various communities to solve socially significant issues, to strengthen the values of solidarity, as well as to form a unified value system in the youth environment, in which not only universal values, but also patriotism would occupy a significant place.
