START is a free 24-session study course that you conduct on your own. Gather 8 or 10 friends together, study and discuss environmental, domestic, and world issues using the on-line readings, read and think about the world we want and how to get there, and then act. The START Study Guide provides guidance on how to pull a group together, modify the process to meet your needs, and run a group. The START Reading List links directly to the readings, which are all free and accessible on-line.

Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. — Margaret Mead
