Junior Changemakers Institute
Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders
Where youth build power, foster belonging, and become community engagement specialists in their own right.
Program Overview
Why Junior Changemakers?
At CCC, we believe in the power of youth, not as future leaders, but as the leaders of right now. Their voices, ideas, and actions are already shaping communities, culture, and change. That’s why we’re committed to walking alongside young people as they step into their power.
​
We know that leadership looks different for everyone. That’s why we meet youth where they are, whether they're discovering who they are, finding their voice, or exploring what matters most to them. We create spaces that are safe, inclusive, and empowering, and places where identity is celebrated, growth is encouraged, and purpose is pursued.
Our "why" is simple: when young people lead, the world changes. We’re here to nurture that leadership every step of the way.
