About Change Collective

The Change Collective is a national leadership network for rising local leaders who are passionate about solving issues in their communities and combating social isolation, political polarization, and civic disengagement. 

We train, connect, and elevate these leaders, equipping them with the tools to build a more robust and inclusive democracy from the ground up. Our vision is to reinvent civic life for a new generation, starting in your city.

Goals
