Be a Changemaker

For teens looking to make a difference in the world, Laurie Ann Thompson's Be a Changemaker is an invaluable resource—not just for creating an action plan, but also for mustering up the confidence to take a risk and start something new. "You have the power—now more than ever—to be the change that you seek," Thompson writes.

It's no surprise that Thompson spent her teenage years in search of her own way to make a difference in the world.
