大多数研究发现，自愿参与导致更多的政治参与。然而，并不完全清楚哪种类型的组织鼓励政治参与以及需要什么技能。也有一些关于多重成员资格是否促进政治参与的讨论。在这篇文章中，我使用比利时青年调查（n = 6，330）在调查的影响，组织的类型，在组织中花费的时间，成员和技能相关的活动的数量对政治参与。我的研究结果表明，志愿组织是强大的政治社会化的代理人，导致年轻人参与政治。参加多个组织的青年人在政治上更加活跃，而在一个组织中花费更多时间并不会提高政治参与水平。在促进政治参与方面，文化、审议和帮助组织比表达性、宗教种族和青年团体更成功。最后，允许青年人发挥领导作用或组织活动的组织鼓励参与政治活动。
Most research finds that voluntary engagement leads to more political participation. However, it is not entirely clear which type of organization encourages political participation and what skills are required. There is also some discussion about whether multiple memberships promote political participation. In this article, I use the Belgian Youth Survey (n = 6,330) in investigating the effect that type of organization, the time spent in organizations, the number of memberships and skills-related activities has on political participation. My findings suggest that voluntary organizations are powerful political socialization agents leading to young people engaging in politics. Young people who are members of several organizations are more active in politics, while spending a greater amount of time in one organization does not increase level of political participation. Cultural, deliberative and help organizations are more successful than expressive, religious—ethnic and youth groups in fostering political engagement. Finally, organizations that allow young people to take up a leadership role, or to organize activities, encourage participation in political activities.
