CHANGEMAKER UNIVERSITY! ! !
NYC | Sep. 8th-10th, 2017
Under 30 Changemakers began as a community for people who committed to lifelong learning, but also applied it to real-life social issues in their own projects and social enterprises. We want our Changemakers to learn repeatable skills like website development, partnership development, public speaking, and financial planning to grow successful social ventures with any resources available, as long as there is an internet connection.

Since the start of Under 30 Changemakers in 2013, more than two thirds of all our partnerships have been with alternative schools from around the world. We recognize that our Changemakers need us to connect them to other communities who can guide and teach them the skills they need to meet their goals. We receive requests for skill support on a consistent basis and we alone cannot fulfill these needs. Our Changemakers are hungry to learn and invest in themselves for a better future.

Changemaker University offers an experience for participants to learn what it takes to be a successful social innovator, while offering an alternative to higher institutions that Changemakers can later choose to join. Each class will be 45-90 minutes long and Changemakers will get to choose which “track� they would like to choose for that time. We aim to sustain an intimate environment by allowing up to thirty students per class.
