Active citizen engagement will lead to the implementation of sound community policies and better quality of life which yield a healthy human environment and desirable future. Unfortunately, in many countries, complete civic participation remains an unrealized objective. Civic engagement is what drives the formation of programs that influence society. People must actively contribute to their community by fulfilling responsibilities and making decisions so as to bring positive change to the place where they live. This study aims to investigate life skills and youth civic engagement, wherein a mixed-methods approach of qualitative review and comparative case studies will be employed. The study resulted to the fact that the promotion of life skills leads to heightened active citizenship that can effect meaningful change, especially among youth. Moreover, life skills nurture leadership toward solving global challenges and creating a more resilient society. Also, with increasing digital dimensions, life skills in technology and communication make life skills more useful for civic engagement, opening up new avenues for participation and advocacy.
