The article presents the author's social and psychological program for the development of civic competence of young people using social media and media content. The main directions of development of civic competence in the program are: 1) reflection on citizenship, experience of interaction with authorities at the national and local levels, 2) development of civic skills, acquisition / renewal of experience in solidarity and civic participation, 3) actualization of readiness to apply the acquired experience (knowledge, skills and abilities) in real situations of interaction. The program uses both traditional methods of active social learning and social media and media content. The method of web-quests is used to update the target and instrumental motives for the use of social media; to master the instrumental skills of constructive interaction with central and local authorities by digital means, as well as an effective means of mastering proactive roles to ensure constructive interaction with government institutions, civic society, groups and communities on social networks. The comics method is used to update individual components of civic competence and diagnose changes in strategies and ways of interacting with public authorities. The proposed program for the development of civic competence has been successfully tested.
