Want to CHANGE the WORLD?

Every day young adults across the world are doing something meaningful for their community. If you were given $1,000 in seed funding to launch your own social business, club, or organization how would you change the world?

Ashoka’s Youth Venture® is leading a global movement of young changemakers who are initiating positive, lasting social change. Youth Venture encourages youth to identify a need in their community, develop an idea for a solution by applying their interests and skills, and then carry out that solution through their Venture. Are you ready to join the movement?

Now YOU have an opportunity to participate in Ashoka’s Youth Venture® DREAM IT DO IT CHALLENGE beginning this fall. In ten exciting and interactive sessions, you can:
