Change Makers Foundation – how it works

• The Change Makers Foundation Programme runs over six-months, and is designed to accelerate your change-making ability and impact
• We meet as a group for a day every six weeks for intensive learning, critiquing and planning
• Our days together include sharing successes and failures, identifying lessons learned, fresh perspectives from guests, learning new tools and approaches, ‘Change Maker under the spotlight’ sessions, peer coaching, and action planning
• You’ll also have the option to receive regular 1:1 mentoring to help remove obstacles and accelerate your progress
• You’ll get access to our rich online curriculum, which includes a range of video lessons, activities tools that you can do in your own time.
• Between workouts, we connect on our online Co-Lab platform. Here we run interactive webinars, electives, ask questions, offer help, and share insights so we can keep up our momentum
• The minimum total contact time is five workout days. You’re expected to complete a minimum number of curriculum modules over the programme – these take around 20 hours to complete. Then there’s the webinars, mentoring, and community engagement which you can spend as much or as little time as you like! (Hint: the people who get the most out are the ones who put the most in)
