We hope you will share The Change Agent Call for Articles with your students.

The Change Agent is a national online magazine written by and for adult learners. The next series will focus on topics about which our students have much to share: student resilience and success skills.

By bringing the designated writing prompts into the classroom and encouraging students to write, you can support your students in seeing themselves as writers and connect them to an authentic readership. 

Submitting Articles

  • The deadline for article submission is Thursday, May 4, 2023.
  • Students can send submissions to The Change Agent Editor Cynthia Peters at Cynthia_peters@worlded.org. You can also contact Cynthia if you have any questions after reviewing the Call for Articles.
  • Students whose articles are accepted for publication receive a $50 gift card.
