The ChangemakerXchange.AI Program is aimed at young changemakers aged 18-35, improving their communities and the world through social and environmental action. They welcome applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds.
They intentionally bring together a diverse group of changemakers, recognising that social impact and the planetary crisis demand an intersectional and coordinated approach involving various stakeholders. This includes those tackling the root causes and those responding to the societal impacts of these changes.
Program Specifications
Their programme consists of three key elements:
- Hub & Online Resources: These are completely free and open to everyone—no registration required.
- Masterclasses: Also free and available to all, but you’ll need to register in advance as spots are limited.
- Cohorts: Participation is by application only.
Eligibility Criteria
- Country: (for their cohort in MENA 2025): You must be based or currently living/having impact in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
- Age: For this programme, you must be aged 18–35. Due to permission reasons, they focus on those over 18.
- Role: You must be the founder/co-founder, leader/co-leader, manager/co-manager (or hold an influential position with decision-making power, e.g., intrapreneur) of a social/environmental venture/organisation which is up and running.
- Complete application: The application form must be fully completed, with no open questions or very obviously insufficient answers remaining. Only applications submitted before the deadline will be considered.
Selection Criteria
- Values: Applicants for a ChangemakerXchange cohort should demonstrate an alignment with the ChangemakerXchange values.
- Character: Applicants should show an entrepreneurial and creative mindset.
- Motivation: Applicants should show motivation to co-create and collaborate.
- Diversity: Diversity is also a critical criterion for them. As such, they are putting a strong emphasis on curating cohorts that are diverse in terms of demographics and types of initiatives.
