CHANGE! A Student Guide to Social Action helps students learn how to bring about the change they believe will improve their community. What distinguishes an experiential social action class from other social change courses is that students are actively involved in enacting a policy change of their choice, providing first-hand experience of democracy and power. Students can choose to start a new campaign, keep a campaign going from a previous semester, or join a community campaign.

This valuable new edition includes updates to the student vctories section, reordering and updating of chapters for better student learning, and updates to all of the portfolio assignments.

Industry Reviews

"The book is very effective, in part because the book is structured to align with the academic semester. Just three weeks into the semester, I can see that my students have already carried out as many actions as they accomplished all semester long last year without the book. The narrative is compelling, the examples from prior college student campaign successes are inspiring, and the focus on policy change is pushing my students to make clearer and more focused demands."
Miriam Shakow, Associate Professor of Anthropology, The College of New Jersey

"For the past decade, the Bonner Foundation has been exploring how to develop a social action track within our network of 65 plus colleges. With the book, CHANGE! A Student Guide to Social Action, we now have the vehicle to help the Bonner network take this next step. Faculty on all college campuses should consider adopting CHANGE! so as to provide an effective and powerful social action experience for their students, and skilled civic leaders for their communities."
Robert Hackett, President, Bonner Foundation

"CHANGE! A Student Guide to Social Action comes at a moment in U.S. history that demands the creation of ever more powerful social and economic justice change agents, a job that higher education has done poorly. It's part roadmap, part compass, part toolkit. But above all, it's a practical guide for faculty who want to foster a new generation of able and smart activists."
Kent Glenzer, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Graduate School of International Studies and Management, Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey
