Students are increasingly concerned about the state of the world they are inheriting.
But through a program we developed in conjunction with David Lange of the Tacoma, WA, School District, about 3,000 high school students are learning to empower themselves to confront and resolve real issues in their community and their world. Then we develop instructional materials to inform the students and their teachers about that topic. After classroom study, students and teachers attend an international conference to get still more information. Back at school the students lead two-day youth summits where they work to develop action plans. Next they link up with businesses and community groups who will help to implement them.
