The Changemaker Project Internship Opportunity

Are you passionate about education for social change? Join The Changemaker Project and help us empower the next generation of leaders and changemakers who are building a better world.

About Us:

The Changemaker Project is a design challenge for teens who want to change the world. We educate students about the multitude of social justice issues affecting people, animals, and the environment via an online course, accessible from anywhere in the world. We teach students to think creatively and critically, work as a team, and use Stanford’s Design Thinking process in order to generate an innovative solution to an issue they are passionate about. The course culminates in a global pitch event, where teams pitch their world-changing projects for a chance to have them funded.

Over the past three years, we’ve reached over 1000 students in 25 countries and helped youth aged 13-24 #bethechange they wish to see. We hope to reach even more students this year, and we need your help!
