Education
Change Maker Series
We want to inspire youth to make change for their local ecosystems. To do so, the Change Maker Series was created to engage students in grades 7-12 with stories about inspiring individuals who are changemakers in their communities. This series of education materials entails a case study and learning activity in which students step into the shoes of a changemaker. Will you inspire changemakers in your classroom?
