Community Guide:
Introduction Return to Community Guide Menu This guide provides information and activities to help YOU take the first steps toward social action in your community. The guide includes activities that will assist you in understanding your community and getting to know your local or state leaders. We have also included instructions on how to create your own visual essay like those found in each chapter of your text. Finally, the community guide ends with a directory of selected national and local organizations, each addressing a particular social problem or problems. In addition to those introduced in your text, the listing includes information on many other outreach, educational and advocacy groups. Please keep in mind, this list is not intended to be a comprehensive guide of community organizations and resources. It is intended to give a good place to start while you're taking your class. We hope that the guide will also identify service and volunteer opportunities that you can pursue after your class is over. Note : Some of these exercises include contact with community leaders and members. Before proceeding, make sure to confirm with your instructor about university policies regarding research with human subjects. Return to Community Guide Menu
