For young adults determined to make a difference in this world, NCP wants to do what we can to give you a hand. We all know there's plenty wrong out there. For starters...

• Nearly a billion of the world's people don't have as much to live on for a year as US young adults spend on themselves every month – around $286
• There are 40 percent fewer living creatures on earth than there were 35 years ago – victims of over-fishing, forest destruction, "development," and global warming – and we ain't seen nothing yet...
• Most folks in our society are blissfully ignorant of what's happening around them-and aren't likely to really wake up until it's way too late

What can you do about it? More than you think! Change in our world today won't be coming from the top-but from the ground up. We just have to recognize and use the power we have-the power of community, the power of communication, the power of commitment, the power of cash-after all, your spending patterns are one of the most powerful tools you have to bring change.

So let's get started!

Get Organized!

NCP will help you find the tools to do what needs to be done and say what needs to be said. Check out our Get Organized! page. It has action ideas on poverty and justice, women's rights, indigenous issues, and more. Plus, we give you ideas for creating an NCP chapter or getting your existing group energized.

Take NCP to School NCP director David Radcliff is ready and willing to visit college campuses for convos, classes and retreats on topics related to enviro care and social justice. Contact David by email. Here's a report from a recent outing: This spring semester David Radcliff promenaded into my world religions and philosophy classes with non-stop engaging energy and spellbound the students and other guests as a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and caring. His ability to weave together a tapestry of statistics and touching anecdotes on a variety of topics concerning world hunger and environmental issues was amazing.  Guest speakers in the classroom are received with a yawn and a glassy-eyed attentiveness. But not with David. He was engaging and inspiring. His personal experiences were poignant and powerful. I highly recommend him to other educators. -Herb Smith, faculty - McPherson College
