Document: The COVIDâ€19 pandemic is having a pervasive effect on young people's mental health and wellâ€being, giving rise to feelings of deep uncertainty and lack of control. Inspired by Amartya Sen's capabilities framework, we argue that building capacity and creating opportunities for community and civic engagement during this time will help young people gain agency and wellâ€being.
