– Recruiting volunteers to work towards a positive change in the world.

The Reward:
In addition to the satisfaction of a job well done, volunteers who complete the 10-week program will receive:

Please note that the “New Changemakers” program believes the best way to positively influence the world around you is by friendly and polite engagement, and we will not consider projects that involve aggressive, confrontational or illegal activity (unless it’s really funny, then maybe).
