About Us

We’re committed to stories about solutions. Powered by Ashoka, the world’s largest community of social entrepreneurs, Changemakers is an online publication providing a platform for the people and ideas positively transforming our world.

Social problems often appear in the headlines, but we’re venturing deeper and further along the pathways to overcome them, guided by leaders in communities worldwide. Our stories cover issues from education equity, to human rights, to climate justice.

We’re obsessed with how bold, new ideas — in the hands of an entrepreneur, team, or community — can create systemic change. Most importantly, we believe that ANYONE can be a changemaker — someone who solves a problem for the good of all.

Here you’ll find innovative ideas, stories about the people behind them, and resources to inspire action wherever you are.

About Ashoka: Ashoka pioneered the social entrepreneurship movement, starting in 1980. We have a radical vision for an “Everyone a Changemaker” world, where all are empowered to make a positive impact, big or small, in their community.
