Changemakers Lab Application

The Changemakers’ Lab is an in-depth 6-month training program focused on creating, strengthening, enhancing, and escalating your transformative project or advocacy campaign strategy. Each month we will organize live sessions for you to co-create, problem-solve, collaborate, ideate and connect with your peers. A training module will be covered each month. For the first four months, you will watch pre-recorded short lessons on tactics and frameworks that you can integrate to your initiative strategy. Beginning on the fifth month, live training sessions will be held weekly, and we will facilitate additional live group sessions to put ideas into practice. In order for us to make sure we focus on what best fits your needs and interests, please take 10 to 15 minutes to answer the following questions.
