Global Changemakers

Since independence, Global Changemakers has continued their work under the same mission, to empower youth to catalyse positive social change in their local communities.

[5] Beyond the summit, Global Changemakers developed three ‘tool kits’ covering the subjects of project management, fundraising and social media, which have been translated into eight languages.

In 2019, Global Changemakers launched a Mentorship Programme, which takes place online over 12 weeks and is open to 15-22 year olds around the world, who are mentored by alumni of the organization.

It now offers online courses on Facilitation, Project Management and Menstruation, Sexual & Reproductive Health, and as of August 2022, over 3 thousand enrollments.

Each year, Global Changemakers selects 60 young social entrepreneurs, community activists, volunteers and campaigners who are working towards attaining the Sustainable Development Goals to attend the summit.

Global Changemakers and their work have been featured extensively in the media,[8] including on CNN,[9] BBC, CCTV, Al Jazeera and NDTV as well as in The Washington Post, Hindu Express, and Financial Times, online,[10][11] and on the radio.
