Len Evans directed me to a resource by Fuller’s Center for Youth and Family Ministry and World Vision. It’s a 1 year plan (or 12 weeks, depending on how you use it) called Vision Generation for engaging students with poverty, AIDS, and world justice. The program lays out all the lesson plans, ideas, scripture passages, discussions, ideas and activities you’ll need to address these issues in your youth group in efforts to cultivate awareness of those hurting and dying all around us. And, of course, the curriculum is completely free.

To learn more about Vision Generation and to get their free curriculum, visit their website:
