This process is organized into three parts: Do What Works, Work Together, and Make It Last. They offer specific guidance for following the process through practical and prescriptive actions such building organizations, joining boards, applying for funding, creating partnerships with organizations that have similar goals, organizing conferences, and publicizing events. The book incorporates accounts of young people in action, and always reinforces the message that social innovation can be a lifestyle, made up of efforts small and large. It is not an all-or nothing proposition, and anyone can affect social change. \u003cp\u003ePreface: The Spirit of Community vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThank-Yous xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1 The Vision 11\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Know Yourself 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Know Your World 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Identify a Problem 46\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Understand the Problem 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Brainstorm Solutions 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 2 The Method 81\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 1: Do What Works 83\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Design a Systemic Solution 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Build on What Works 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Measure, Evaluate, Improve, Repeat 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Challenge What Works, Innovate, Keep What Works 110\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 2: Work Together 119\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Balance Strengthening and Starting 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Cultivate Community Ownership 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Foster Team Unity 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Forge Partnerships 140\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 3: Make It Last 147\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Start Small, Then Scale What Works 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Engineer Self-Sustainable Solutions 156\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Integrate Social Entrepreneurship 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Share What Works 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 The Method in Action 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 3 The Tools 197\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 1: Do What Works: Proven Strategies to Increase Your Impact 199\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 What Works in Choosing a Name 200\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 What Works in Writing a Mission Statement 208\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 What Works in Goals and Planning 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 What Works in Fundraising 231\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 What Works in Media and Marketing 261\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 What Works in Activism 280\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e25 What Works in Educational Curricula 299\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 What Works When Running for Office 317\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e27 Do What’s Right 326\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 2: Work Together: Start and Strengthen Meaningful Relationships 335\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e28 Find Mentors 336\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e29 Build a Team 350\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e30 Optimize Communication 373\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e31 Create Partnerships 386\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e32 Organize a Conference 406\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e33 Serve on a Board 418\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e34 Develop Community Ownership 429\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 3: Make It Last: Add Value and Sustain Success 442\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e35 Apply Social Entrepreneurship 443\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e36 Revitalize Your Efforts 456\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e37 Transition Leadership 469\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e38 Incorporate as a Business 479\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e39 Incorporate as a Nonprofit 488\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e40 Incorporate Reflection 497\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e41 Make Social Responsibility a Career 506\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e42 Make Social Responsibility a Lifestyle 520\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 531\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 541\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNina Vasan\u003c\/b\u003e is a social entrepreneur.
