The Guide-To-Action Model
The Change That Clicks Facilitator Guide seeks to engage youth at the level of inspiration to
reflect critically on the global issues that affect them and to learn about the different ways that youth
can get involved and make a positive impact in their communities. Using TakingITGlobal’s Guide-to-Action
approach to youth driven social change, the Change That Clicks Facilitator Guide brings you through
a systematic process of change with every new section. The Guide-to-Action model is based on the research
conducted by TakingITGlobal regarding youth participation in Canada, and on research carried out by
Jennifer Corriero for her Masters Thesis in Environmental Studies at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
