How do we teach our children thoughtful citizenship in what feels like a tumultuous time?

This is a question many families are asking. Sometimes, the problems we see in our community or our nation can seem too big to tackle or impossible to solve. And standing up for what you know is right can be difficult or even scary. This unique guide is designed to help your family replace anxiety about local and global challenges with action steps that empower your family to become part of the solution.

With simple activities, book recommendations, and conversation starters, your family will learn to speak out about issues that matter and discover ways to step up and make a difference.

This toolkit is full of thought-provoking tools to get engaged in your community. Here is a sneak peek at the contents:
