We work with REHAB Africa, Patriotic Entrepreneurs of Liberia, and the African Methodist Episcopal University to empower youth through entrepreneurship in Liberia.
Summit: August 25-August 30, 2019
Over 150 youth were selected through a competitive application process to participate in the week-long 2019 Youth Changemakers Conference held in Monrovia, Liberia. Special thanks to our sponsor Founders Boot-camp whose contribution allowed us to make our event free for attendees. The Global Changemakers Youth Conference is a call to action for youth to address societal issues.
From speaker to campfire brainstorming sessions, participants learned how to take action and proposed innovative ideas (based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals) to implement in their communities.
We are looking for the next generation of global changemakers who have a desire to positively impact their communities.
