Introduction to Changing the World:  A family, youth and community advocate’s guide to social action

- Derek Peterson - www.catchersofdreams.net

Do you ever wonder if what you do really matters? Do you look at the world that is being created around you and feel a sense of despair?

This presentation focused on the hunger that all advocates share.  The hunger to move “upstream” by using your time, energy and talents to make a difference in the lives of youth.
This presentation was activity based, dynamic, and fun. It inspired advocates to “find their voice” and “change their world.” Participants left with new insights into your role as an advocate, an understanding of the social action process, and an experience of the rights and privileges of being a community  advocate. They also gained an appreciation of the process of change and practice building group cohesiveness through relationships.
