YEA Camps Changemakers Challenge

The Changemakers Challenge is designed for people ages 12-17 (exceptions are made for enthusiastic younger students) who want to get started or get serious taking action on a cause they care about and to connect with a community of like-minded people during this time of "social distancing."

YEA Camp supports up-and-coming leaders in progressive issues such as human rights (anti-racism, LGBTQ equality, women's rights), environmental sustainability, animal protection, and gun control.

Changemakers Challenge will help you get active on the social justice cause of your choice in a way that inspires you.

For more than a decade, YEA Camp has been training aspiring changemakers young and old to make a difference on the causes they care about. Our campers have gone on to do amazing things that they say would not have happened if they hadn't attended YEA Camp.

Dates: Sessions are weekly Monday through Friday from 4 to 5 pm (5/25-5/29 & 6/1-6/5)
