Calendar & Curriculum
Each week of our Changemakers Institute, participants will engage in different types of virtual settings with different groupings of their peers.
These virtual settings include our Institute Seminars that take place twice a week with all participants, Cohort Meetings with a smaller subgroup of participants (30-40) focusing on similar initiatives, and Mentor Roundtables with 10 fellow participants and an alumni mentor. In the final week, participants will also take part in panels to review their Changemaker Portfolios, the final product of the Institute.
Participants will receive all Institute materials, including links to Zoom and Google Meet virtual sessions, via Google Classroom. Invitations to our classroom page (including the class code needed to join) will be sent out on the morning of June 9th.
All virtual sessions will be recorded and available to participants who cannot attend live due to scheduling conflicts or family obligations:
