The Sourcebook includes 20 narrative accounts of civic participation projects from diverse educational settings (written mostly by teachers). Supplementing each account are "prep and practice" activities that develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence one needs to engage in similar kinds of community involvement. 218 pages."
