Abstract
Theoretical and empirical analysis is carried out in the context of available modern sociological paradigms and scientific knowledge: "civic engagement", "social change, "group action", as well as in the context of theories of social activism and interaction within youth systems and communities. Considering these issues and the youth policy adopted in the Russian Federation, the authors of the article aim to study the activities of selfgoverning structures in the Russian Federation, specifically focusing on the functioning of the Public Youth Chamber at the Tyumen Regional Duma and its priority areas of work. The study surveyed youth activists using the quota method and found the structure being investigated serves as a model organization by implementing the principles of Russian youth policy. These principles include combining the needs of the individual, society, and the state; ensuring equal social interaction; supporting youth associations; and mandating youth participation in policy formation and implementation that reflects the common positions of this social group. Based on the authors' empirical results, the study revealed the level of activity among participants in the Public Youth Chamber projects, as well as their evaluations of this type of activity and its development prospects.
