PROGRAM DETAILS
The Changemaker Project is a four-year leadership development program that helps youth take action on issues they care about.
​
Every first Saturday, from Oct.-June, we host a 60-min live call (at 10am PST) with changemakers around the globe. You'll be part of a global community of learners with a mentor to guide you in your change-making journey.
​
First, you'll learn about real-world issues that face our planet (affecting people, animals, and the environment). Next, you'll decide on a problem to tackle with your team. Our course provides valuable problem-solving skills and guides you through Stanford's Design Thinking process to create a project that solves a real world problem.
Throughout the course, you will have the chance to connect and share ideas with students from all over the world, through both the monthly live calls and the online forum. Once you decide on a project idea, you'll create a short video to share at Global Pitch, where you'll have a chance to pitch your idea to win funding.
In May, teams submit their finished projects for a chance to be featured in the Changemaker Showcase—an opportunity to be honored for your innovation, hard work, and the meaningful impact you've made on the world.
