Lublin, N. (2010). Do something: a handbook for young activists. New York: Workman Publishing Company.
Summary
The organization Dosomething.org has put together a great resource for kids to get out in their community and "do something". Readers will become motivated after reading through hundreds of ideas to better themselves and the world around them. The book breaks down ideas by age, organization, and even ideas on how to come up with their own ideas.
Review
This book really brings to light how easy it is for kids to really make a difference. It is a great motivator and encourages kids that they are needed, important, and valuable. As a volunteer coordinator for the library where I work at, I use this book to motivate my volunteers and to offer suggestions for other places in case I am full. My favorite part is the quiz section that helps pin point their "thing". It is written in a hip and down to earth way and it will encourage kids to think outside of the box.
