Content Structure and Organization

The instructional content for Rebuilding Lives: Advocacy Through Action – Updated Self-Paced Module (2025) will be broken down into five core units. Each unit will guide students step by step, moving from learning about advocacy concepts to applying them through self-assessed projects. Since this is a fully self-paced module with no instructor, the learning path will combine auto-graded quizzes, self-assessment rubrics, and optional peer-sharing opportunities.

This newly updated 5-unit self-paced module teaches youth how to identify community issues, craft persuasive messages, and present real advocacy plans. It is paired with an educational game and is designed for alternative and continuation education settings.
