Steps of a Social Action Project:

- Stakeholders are the people involved in an issue – those impacted by the issue, those who can influence or create change, etc.
- Assess the needs and strengths of the community related to your issue. Are other organizations working on the same issue? Are there needs in your community not being addressed?
