Campus Ambassador Program
Are you passionate about social justice? Outgoing and well-connected at your school? Eager to take your leadership skills to the next level?
​
Become a Changemaker Campus Ambassador! You'll gain the skills to build and lead a club of changemakers at your school and empower your peers to #bethechange they wish to see!
ABOUT
​
The Changemaker Project is a nonprofit program that helps youth (ages 13-24) tackle social justice issues in their communities. Our program can be used in an after-school club or a class curriculum. Our online course teaches youth about social and environmental issues, and helps students to create innovative solutions using Stanford's Design Thinking process. We also pair teams with mentors as they implement their projects. Teams can pitch to win funding at our annual Global Pitch event, and final projects have a chance to be featured in our Changemaker Showcase event at the end of the school year.
​
This Fall, we are piloting a Campus Ambassador Program, to help us grow and expand to new schools and experiment with a student-led club model. We're looking for outgoing young leaders to launch and facilitate Changemaker Project clubs at their schools.
