Hi Luke,
TakingITGlobal has published a free, online, PDF “Guide to
Action” which has been published in English, French, and Spanish. It’s
now in its third iteration, with a lot of new content, and has been downloaded hundreds
of thousands of times!
Feel free to check it out at:
http://www.takingitglobal.org/guide/
That page also includes new specific guides on thematic issues:
HIV/AIDS, Climate Change (the newest one), and the Millennium Development
Goals.
Feel free to print and distribute/use the guides for anything
you’d like – we’d appreciate hearing about how it works out J
Best Regards, Michael

Subject: [youthgas] Youth Advocacy Guide
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a guide that provides some advice to young
people on how they might go about undertaking advocacy on a particular issue
they are passionate about. Including what 'advocacy' is, what kinds of
activities they might do to bring attention to the issue, how they might go
about engaging other young people, how they could go about approaching
government etc.
While there is a lot of literature and resources on youth
participation, particularly from the perspective of how mainstream (and youth
focused) organisations might go about engaging young people in their work, I
have not been able to find anything that is targeted at young people who want
to get out and do their own advocacy independent of existing
organisations.
If anyone knows of any resources, I would be very grateful
if you could let me know.
