Change Maker Testimonials

Change Makers “increased my confidence”.

Change Makers, “exceeded my expectations.  I came into this program with no knowledge about community change and other topics discussed in the program”.

“I felt that the opportunity to pitch our ideas was a great way to wrap up the experience and apply what we’ve learned over the weeks”.

“The program was well organised and delivered”.

“I got to meet lots of amazing people and learn about new opportunities”.

Change Makers helped me to make “valuable connections … and exchanged some ideas, I met people who wanted to give back to the community”.
