Fostering the civic position of teenagers through involvement in the activities of modern patriotic movements and organizations

The article analyzes the issues of educating the civic position of adolescents through involvement in the activities of modern patriotic movements and organizations. The author focuses on the contradiction between the high level of the declared patriotic identity of Russians and the ambiguity of the situation in the adolescent environment, where orientation to socially significant activities is often inferior to individualistic aspirations. Through the systematization and classification of patriotic associations of the country focused on working with young people, the main vectors of their activities in the context of the formation of the civic identity of the younger generation are identified. Special attention is paid to the specifics of patriotic education in the current military-political situation related to Russia's participation in a large-scale armed conflict. The necessity of using methods of gentle pedagogical influence focused on actualizing the creative potential of the emerging personality in the interests of society and the state is emphasized.
