New issue of The Change Agent: Resilience

What inspires us to respond to and recover from difficulties? What actually enables us to respond and recover? In this inspiring issue of The Change Agent, a World Education publication for adult learners, writers explore how our communities and families often rally to soften or deflect a blow to the community or individual…and perhaps even change the conditions that created the blow.

Read stories about how individuals, neighborhoods, and whole communities have drawn strength and responded to challenges and made positive changes. Whether it's a story about a patient with a newly diagnosed illness, an ESOL class that's lost the only bus line in their neighborhood, or a community that's been deserted by its principal employer, these stories will inspire you, build your resolve, suggest action steps, and call your attention to your own resilience and strength and that of the people and communities around you.

The Change Agent is a national, nonprofit magazine that inspires and enables adult literacy educators and learners to make civic participation and social justice part of their teaching and learning. Oriented toward adult learners, the magazine is accessible to people who read at an intermediate literacy level.
