Offered through the Uni­ver­si­ty of Col­orado-Boul­der, the free MOOC will help par­tic­i­pants “men­tor young peo­ple to lead change in their com­mu­ni­ties using com­mu­ni­ty map­ping, col­lab­o­rat­ing with stake­hold­ers, and design­ing prac­ti­cal solu­tions in the form of cam­paigns.” Although main­ly designed for “K‑12 for­mal and infor­mal edu­ca­tors in the Unit­ed States,” the course nonethe­less wel­comes any­one inter­est­ed in com­pas­sion and lead­er­ship.
