The guides contain questions and activities that can be self-directed or worked through in a group or classroom setting.

Each guide can be useful on its own, though they are best when used as a full curriculum. They are designed for educators to use with youth ages 13-25 but can be used by anyone to learn about these issues and to push for a humane, sustainable, and equitable future.
