St James’s Changemakers is a new initiative that aims to develop young leaders aged 18-30 who are committed to positive social change.
An inspiring 18-month journey that blends creativity, equity, and systems change to:
Empower young leaders to imagine a better world—and act to create it
Equip values-led changemakers with the mindset and tools to drive real impact
Grow their skills, networks, and influence to amplify their leadership
Deepen their understanding of interconnected systems to catalyse societal change
Changemakers is built on three structural pillars
Storytelling and collective voice across borders
Collaboration and imagination in practice
Funded youth-led projects in the community
Our Changemakers will be comfortable with being uncomfortable. They will learn how to work through difference and find common ground. They will be able to examine how positive social change can be implemented at individual, collective, and institutional levels.
Across the three pillars of the programme, the Changemakers will be involved in five programme strands that work together.
