Behold, I am doing a new thing (Isa. 43:19)

Upon acceptance, each Change Maker will enter a 15-month innovation track with nine others in their region. Together, the cohort will journey to London for an immersion in Christian social entrepreneurship. Throughout the 2018-19 academic year, the cohort will meet approximately once a month for discussion and support, complete individual project development activities, and meet every 4-6 weeks with a spiritual mentor. In 2018, each Change Maker will attend a week-long incubator to develop and launch a new social project, concluding with a pitch session to potential investors and partners.

Final Deadline: May 15, 2018

Please take note of the questions and be prepared as you will not be able to stop, save and return to at a later date.
