Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Making Change demonstrates the potential for youth to engage in social entrepreneurship to transform themselves and their communities. For youth in marginalized communities, where the opportunity gap, suppressed social mobility, and economic disparity are most profound, social entrepreneurship offers the exponential benefits of personal empowerment, community enhancement, and economic transformation.
MoreLong description:
Engaging youth as leaders of social change offers the exponential benefits of personal empowerment, community enhancement, and economic transformation. Grounded both in interdisciplinary theory and an expansive set of practical case examples, Making Change uses an asset focus and cultural relevance that centralizes youth and communities in social entrepreneurship, while introducing vocabulary and frameworks for youth social entrepreneurship advocates to gain resources and political traction for the approach. Readers will have the opportunity to consider the complex interplay of individual, economic, and community development versus oversimplifying causes or solutions of social disparities. Individuals engaged in youth work, program design, funding, and the study of youth and community development will appreciate the text's exploration of existing research and theory that cross scholarly disciplines to promote a robust view of youth development.
Making Change is a wonderful combination of weaving multiple perspectives and fields of study and insightful case studies into a masterful case about and for youth social entrepreneurship. Clearly positioning youth social entrepreneurship at the intersection of youth development, community development, and social entrepreneurship, the book brings in the best of each and also deals with tensions and problems directly and usefully-including the multitude of words used to describe this kind of work... The text is highly readable and will help both academics and practitioners alike make valuable connections between things they already know as well as to new areas of knowledge and practice. A major contribution I highly recommend that should be widely read and used in the years ahead.
