Sparking Something Bigger: The Changemaker Challenge

Workforce development, a bystander intervention program, and art therapy for cancer patients are just three of the ideas pitched at the 2021 Changemaker Challenge. We sat down with three grantees of the Changemaker Challenge, Van Brooks, Sonia Su, and Dawn Volkart, to learn more about the challenge, their experience, and advice for future applicants.

Applications for the 2024 Changemaker Challenge are open now: uwcm.org/changemakerchallenge
