This project was developed in 2020 to provide secondary and early college educators with free literacy and civic action extension activities aligned to the individual stories in the book and to increase the access and participation of all learners. Available in English, Spanish, and audio. The learning activities in this curriculum are organized around real world, global competencies that encourage all students to investigate the world, communicate effectively, recognize perspectives, and take action.

Each set of learning activities is focused on a leader and his/her story in the book, and begins with a framing question that relates to the experience of the Latino leader being studied. Questions such as, Why is it important to be proud of your heritage? How might you contribute to a better world? What does it mean to have a voice? Engage students to think about the experience of the Latino leader and what they might learn and apply to their own lives. Graphic organizers, robust question discussion activities, short video clips, and civic action opportunities further support the key lessons of each of the highlighted speeches and calls for both educators and students to activate their learning and leadership. ​
