Get to the Root

In this activity, youth or teens use critical thinking to deconstruct an issue they care about.  They identify a problem, explore the root causes and effects, and research who the experts are.  This is a great way to build community, use creative expression, and come up with different approaches to the next best steps in the service-learning process.
