Are you a young person? Are you worried about a particular social issue? Do you want to make a change, but are unsure of how to go about it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Lead the Way is the perfect guidebook for you.

Written by teenage climate activist Jean Hinchliffe, Lead the Way is an intelligent and insightful guide to the ins, outs and in-betweens of activism for teens. Through in-depth lists and thoughtful anecdotes, Hinchliffe provides information on how to be a successful activist, from tips on founding a movement (complete with advice on how to, among other things, attract support, conduct media interviews and organise a rally) to practising self-care and avoiding burnout.
