Ashoka Young Changemakers (AYC) is a global network of powerful young people who are creating an Everyone A Changemaker world.
Each Ashoka Young Changemaker has launched social initiatives, formed peer-led teams, and created solutions for the good of all while activating others to join in.
Now, they are stepping up to shape a global conversation in redefining what it means to be a young person growing up in today’s world.
Ashoka Young Changemakers: Answering the Call
Ashoka Young Changemakers are a carefully selected network of young people who have found their power to create change for the good of all around them. They engage their peers and societies in realizing a world where everyone is a changemaker.
The program was launched in Indonesia in 2019 and currently has 28 Ashoka Young Changemakers, alongside with many others in Brazil, Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, and the United States.
#LeadYoung Nabila - Embracing 'Troubled' Children with CDEF Method

Azzam - Membangun Kesadaran Sosial dengan Board Game
Azzam and his team designed an educational board game that invites players to become heroes and try to defeat monsters that attack the city. With a focus on process, the game is designed for small groups of 4-8 people as an instrument to raise awareness, spark peer discussion about various issues around, and give them space to develop capacity as reformers.

Being in a community of young changemakers who are fighting for their own causes really opened up my mind and made me humble. I'm grateful for Ashoka that provides a platform to connect and unite us all.

I believe in the power of intergenerational and intersectional collaboration in bringing a more holistic change. The community in Ashoka has the ability to facilitate that connection, which will help us grow

As the world is increasingly interconnected, the nature of problems we face also evolves and becomes more complex. Ashoka is a place to find collective solutions for the good of all.

It’s important to have a community like Ashoka because it allows us to access new knowledge and have support to move together. Change is unlikely to happen if only one person is involved
