Abstract:

This is a step-by-step field guide for community action, aimed at kids. It begins by assuming that the young person does not know what problem to work on, and shows them how to select a problem and investigate it. It then takes them into the maze of government officials, businesses, and nonprofit agencies that surround the problem. Information is provided on how to contact them and find out what solutions they offer to the problem. Includes names and addresses of organizations that may be helpful.
