ABOUT

The Changemaker Project is a nonprofit program that helps youth (ages 13-18) tackle social justice issues in their communities. We provide youth with the tools, mentorship, and funding they need to make a meaningful impact in their community.

Our program is implemented as part of a class curriculum in middle and high schools. Our online course teaches youth about social and environmental issues, and helps students to create and implement innovative solutions using Stanford’s Design Thinking process. We host a Global Pitch event each February, where teams pitch to win seed funding for their projects. For the next three months, students launch and execute their projects with the support of mentors to guide them. In June, we host a Changemaker Showcase, where teams can present their projects and demonstrate the impact they’ve had in their communities.

Over the past five years, we’ve reached over 2000 students in 35+ countries to #bethechange they wish to see. Through our Global Ambassador Program, we are able to grow and expand in new regions. We’re looking for outgoing leaders who can help us outreach to youth, develop school and NGO partnerships, and be the face of The Changemaker Project in their countries/regions.
