School Projects for Positive Change: Empower Students to Positively Impact Their Communities
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of it for another.
– Charles Dickens
INTRO
Empower students to positively impact their communities, country, and the world. Consider projects from Design for Change.
GO skills and behaviors include elements of student agency– self-awareness, self-knowledge, and an understanding of who you are in the context of the world around you, including your family and your community. This includes leadership skills, advocacy skills, self-care, and healthy habits as well as skills like kindness and empathy. Many of these skills are necessary to successfully navigate big life transitions such as attending college, enrolling in a vocational program, starting a new job, or even beginning a new personal relationship.
