HELP US BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF CHANGEMAKERS!
VIRTUAL MENTORS NEEDED
The Changemaker Project is a global challenge for youth who want to make change. Students all over the world join an online course in which they learn about social and environmental justice issues, work together in teams to design solutions to problems they care about, and pitch their projects for funding at our annual Global Pitch event. We need volunteers to act as virtual mentors for our teams this spring!
The goal of the mentoring program is to connect our teams with folks of different backgrounds and skill sets who can offer guidance on their projects. Depending on the type of project each team is doing, we try to pair them with a mentor who is best suited to help them, with expertise in their project area.
We're looking for virtual mentors to support students in a monthly Zoom call, from March 2nd to June 1st. Each month, on the first Saturday, we hold a Zoom call from 10-11am PST for all of our students. As a mentor, you'll be paired with a team in a breakout room and you'll be able to learn about their project, ask questions, and guide them in the right direction.
During the call, mentors are encouraged to give advice and offer expertise, resources, and connections that may be helpful. In addition to the four one-hour Zoom calls, the time commitment also includes a 1-hr. virtual training before mentorship begins.

Mission Statement
Our mission at The Changemaker Project is to empower youth to innovate social change.
Description
Since 2018, we've empowered over 2000 young changemakers in 35+ countries to #bethechange they wish to see. We partner with schools to offer youth the tools, mentorship, and funding they need to make a meaningful impact on the world. Students join our online course, learn about social justice issues, form teams and choose a problem to tackle, utilize Stanford's Design Thinking process to create innovative solutions, and pitch their ideas for funding. Along the way, we pair them with mentors from the community to support them and provide guidance on their projects. Sign up today to mentor a team of changemakers!
