Your donation helps us support young people around the world in their changemaking journey.
One hundred years ago, accelerating change had reached the point that society needed everyone to be literate.
Now society needs everyone to be ready to thrive in a world of constant, rapid, exponential change as a skilled Changemaker.
It needs every young person, parent, and educator to grasp this new paradigm for success in growing up — and in life.
~ Ashoka Founder and CEO Bill Drayton
