<p>NEW LEADERSHIP ADVOCACY TRAINING TOOLKIT FOR TEENS & TWEENS
 
The YOUTH ACTIVISM PROJECT has a new youth empowerment resource by Wendy 
Lesko. KNOCK-YOUR-SOCKS-OFF TRAINING TEENS TO BE SUCCESSFUL ACTIVISTS! THE 
COMPLETE GUIDE FOR FACILITATING A 1-2 HOUR WORKSHOP outlines a script for 
every minute of the training yet it's a flexible module that can be 
tailored for your audience. Participants will learn how other youths have 
been influential in pursuing community change and skill-based exercises 
will equip them with knowledge to design their own action plans. This 
facilitator's 50-page binder also includes handouts for participants plus 
a VHS tape with short TV clips that enhance this interactive workshop. 
 
Adam Fletcher with The Freechild Project says: "KNOCK-YOUR-SOCKS-OFF 
leaves no excuses for organizations that claim they can't step up and meet 
the needs of young people by engaging them as meaningful social change 
agents. This ready-to-use, comprehensive, and action-oriented toolkit 
provides a clear path and useful examples that will help a lot of people 
have the "ah-ha" moment about youth empowerment that all advocates hope 
for."
