working to improve the lives of others, Take Action! shows how you,

Kielburger are the founders of Leaders Today, an organization
dedicated to helping young people realize their fullest potential
and become socially involved. Their remarkable work has been
profiled on Oprah and on many national news shows, as well as in
magazines and newspapers across the U.S. and Canada. Now, with Take
Action!, they provide easy-to-follow guidelines for making a
difference in the lives of people all over the globe.

fun at the same time! You’ll discover how you and your friends can
join the fight for children’s rights, get involved in environmental
issues, help those suffering from hunger and poverty, and much
more. You’ll also meet other extraordinary young people like
yourself who turned their thoughts and passion into action and have
made a tremendous impact on these issues.
There are no limits to what you can accomplish. You can be a leader
and help others today-all you have to do is Take Action!
