"We can all make a difference for the better in countless ways, large and small. As we help others, we will find greater meaning for our own lives. Angela Perkey describes these realities in compelling fashion. Her book is a clarion call for all of us to bestir ourselves for the larger good." -W. Taylor Reveley III, President of the College of William and Mary, "Angela Perkey has taken the concept of 'change the world' to a whole new level. With fresh and passionate language, she has confronted the perennial dilemma of the gap between knowledge and action. Illuminating why it is not enough to just know about the dire problems the world faces, she shows us how to solve those problems through more effective ways to contribute financially, more skillful ways to serve, and more enlightened ways to sustain inspiration and compassion.Change the World, Change Your Lifeis an eloquent treatise of new paradigm millennial service balancing virtual with hands-on skills, personal growth with worldly contribution, and pragmatism with passion. This inspiring young leader's rallying cry could not be more apropos for our urgent times, 'Now it's your turn!" -Gail Straub, Co-Founder, The Empowerment Institute, author ofThe Rhythm of CompassionandReturning to My Mother's House, "Inspiring, practical, motivating, Change the World, Change Your Life is a carefully researched easy read that packs a punch." -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, "For a generation committed to public service, Angela Perkey has provided the role models and their road maps--and we are all left more hopeful about their future, and ours." -Bill Purcell, Director, Harvard Institute of Politics at the John F.

18,000 children die of hunger every day. By 2030, there will be no glaciers in Glacier National Park. 47 million Americans do not have health insurance. The economy's in turmoil. Job loss.

And yet many people in today's generations are more eager than ever to get involved, to do something, anything, to improve the world. They crave meaningful lives that are worth remembering. Change the World, Change Your Life shows you how to get involved and effectively address the problems you care about most, from your own backyard to the world stage. It provides a blueprint for being of service and includes practical resources for making a difference in a way that will also change your life. Interlaced with stories of individuals who have found ways to give, large and small, it is exactly the right book for these times.
