About the EduGuide
Our guide will walk you through a small portion of the Project Contrast online collection and ask you to think critically about the stories you read. Each story has been organized into a group that reflects an identity expressed by the storytellers themselves with questions and activities to follow.
The guide is intended for young adults (YA) ages 14+ or those already in late middle or high school. You can follow this guide on your own, with your fellow GSA members, during family night, in a book club, or even in a classroom. The options are limitless.
