The Kid's Guide to Service Projects: Over 500 Service Ideas for Young People Who Want to Make a Difference by Barbara A. Lewis, 1995. This is an extensive presentation of ideas for children to make a difference. Fifteen categories are provided, ranging from animals to environment to transportation. The book may be most effective if used in conjunction with a book that covers the instructions for completing service projects, such as Lewis' Kid's Guide to Social Action or Pelo's It's Not Fair! http://www.freespirit.com/catalog/item_detail.cfm?ITEM_ID=229
The Kid's Guide to Social Action: How to Solve the Social Problems You Choose—and Turn Creative Thinking into Positive Action by Barbara A. Lewis, 1998. This book is aimed at children of all ages, but it is probably most effective with readers or with younger children who have the immediate guidance of teachers or parents. Middle school is a key age for wanting to make a difference, and this book is likely to be most appropriate for that age group. The book includes stories of groups of children who have made a difference. Ho-to instructions are provided. The main sections of the book include Beyond the Classroom, Power Skills (includes telephoning, letter writing, surveys, etc.), Working with Government, resources, and Tools.
