Program Resources – Step 2

Step Two Resources: Explore Social Causes

Investigate social causes to determine the needs of the community, identify a broad range of social cause categories, and collaboratively consider the role that students play in their own communities. This is a time for the students to discuss what they see happening in their school, among friends, community, and city.  Explore local, national, and global social issues taking place.

Regardless, if your program will be entering the process with a THEME for the year or you will empower your students to select their social cause of interest; we ENCOURAGE you to allow this conversation to be part of your process!  Ask: ‘What do you care about?’ – may be the first time the students FEEL someone cares what they think!  Don’t bypass this opportunity!

What do students care about?
