Gathering students for your own group of Agents of Social Change can be conducted by the following:

• Teacher/staff selection

• Through a club or dedicated class 

• Through a peer intervention team 

• Through an application process

A student group would need to meet 1-3 times a week, to generate data and lessons needed in order to implement this project. Once the lesson is created, students must have a class schedule to visit. This will be a whole class period taught by the Agents of Social Change. We suggest a health class as this venue, for it supports the social/emotional foci of the class. 

An essential part of being an Agent of (Social) Change is being aware of the social issues that affect people’s everyday lives, as well as those that plague society in general. It is crucial that one has an understanding of what is occurring in the environment around you, especially in one’s own school to better connect with your peers, as well as educate the students on matters that are important to them. Therefore, you should have a comprehensive understanding of what challenges your peers are facing and how that affects them to create lesson plans that are relevant to your peers' experiences, contributing to their engagement in the material and your overall impact. 

When creating a lesson it is important to keep in mind the age group you are teaching. You want to be able to provide information and allow for it to be built around the age group so that it can be easily comprehensible for their maturity level. It is also important to keep the students engaged. Use slides and pictures to keep the students focused and implement activities for the students to take part in the lesson, hands-on. Give the students an activity for them to work on with your assistance where they get open control and creativity.
