Extension Students will come up with a community plan that they can see their community adopting to make positive change with the issue they have chosen. Taking Informed Action Have students take note of an issue in their own community (such as poverty, money, resources etc.) and come up with a class-wide “solution” for the issue. Come up with something that the class can do to affect positive change in their community around the issue they have chosen and present it at a city council meeting.
