Change Projects | Project Partners

All second-year degree students in the Center for Creative Change complete a nine-month capstone change project in an organization or community of their choice. During these change projects, students learn about how to facilitate change in the real world. For the organization or community, it is a chance to work with volunteer graduate students, many of whom are professionals with proven areas of expertise and records of success.
