With more slaves in the world today than ever before - an estimated 27 million - and incredibly few resources available for youth to learn about modern-day slavery and human trafficking, the need for change has become clearly apparent. Tapping into youth-culture’s growing passion to change the world, Young Heroes seeks to empower its readers to reach their highest potential and be the change the world needs.

In presentation and content, Young Heroes is a dynamic and fresh youth-focused resource unlike any other. Offering engaging reading, unique assignments, self-reflection and examination tools, on-line projects, and action-based activities, Young Heroes cuts across political, cultural, and secular/religious boundaries, thus lending itself to all types of people and varying learning styles.

The design incorporates a user-friendly, newspaper-style layout, through sixteen visually stimulating chapters, while comprehensively describing one of today’s most pressing social justice issue. Young Heroes was created through an integrative lens of multiple disciplines including philosophy, psychology, philanthropy, religious studies, history, economics, and political science.
Initially edited by Pulitzer Prize Nominee Kevin Bales, Young Heroes is bound to touch readers and inspire them to make a difference.
