This guide is designed to assist teachers and youth leaders in helping youth develop civic action skills. Section 1 offers a planning guide for action projects and focuses on how to develop such a project. Section 2 provides samples of eight community action projects with their descriptions, goals, resources needed, relevant facts and figures, a series of action steps, and methods used to evaluate the project. Section 3 describes skills young people may need to complete an action project. A list of 12 useful books for doing action projects completes the guide.
