About the Organization

Founded in 1994, Changemakers connects anyone, anywhere with ideas, tools, and opportunities to make social and environmental impact. We learn from—and bring together— diverse communities to build the global changemaker movement through online challenges, courses, and more. We’re on a mission to activate the changemaker in all of us.

About the Challenge

Join our global innovation challenge: Together Towards Tomorrow, a collaboration between Ashoka and HSBC, which invites changemakers from around the world with initiatives that unite people across generations to activate young people as leaders. We're on the hunt for innovative solutions that promote equitable collaboration, connecting young minds with their inner purpose. Is your venture centered on a solution that fosters social connections between generations, amplifies youth leadership, and shapes an alternative future? We want to hear from you!

Who are we looking for

Enabling youth leadership for social impact: Solutions that enable young people to take charge, actively identifying their strengths and passions. With this self-awareness, they lead the charge in effecting positive change within their communities.

Promoting equitable intergenerational collaboration: Solutions that promote equity by fostering intergenerational social connections, mutual learning and empathy, ensuring that young people have an equal opportunity to lead and effect change. This inclusive approach allows young people to access the collective wisdom and resources of all generations, amplifying their impact and sustaining their commitment to changemaking.

Fostering agency in young people: Solutions that foster agency among youth by catalyzing them to take ownership of their ideas, actions, and impact. As a result, young individuals develop the confidence and autonomy needed to lead changemaking efforts, ultimately becoming lifelong changemakers.
