Making a Difference: A Story of Adventure, Disaster, and Redemption
Inspired by the Plight of At-Risk Girls demonstrates to students
across various disciplines that they can assume leadership
positions that positively impact communities, organizations, and
the world, regardless of their interests, abilities, and career
goals. Through personal accounts, Jeffrey A. Kottler and Sara
Safari share how they conquered a mountain for a cause, found
strength in the service of others in the aftermath of a
catastrophic earthquake, and overcame personal and professional
obstacles to begin a movement that protects children against abuse
and victimization. The text focuses on the plight of children,
especially girls, who have been systematically oppressed, but the
lessons highlighted throughout are applicable to a variety of other
situations and contexts. Readers learn the gifts and privileges of
serving others, as well as the difficult realities of this type of
work. Kottler and Safari's story guides students through the
mistakes, breakthroughs, successes, and failures inherent in
ventures of transformative community service. Making a Difference
is an ideal supplementary text for courses in social justice,
advocacy, leadership, women's studies, gender studies, sociology,
social work, and counseling.
