What is the Changemaker Fellowship?
We support all students, with diverse interests and life experiences, throughout college and beyond with high-impact, real world experiences to build a life and a career at the intersection of doing well and doing good. We use a people-planet-profit approach and care about making a positive social, environmental and economic impact in the world. If you do too, then you have what it takes!

Semester in the City (SITC) is an internship-based program in Boston; students earn 16 UNH credits, have a dedicated mentor and work on strategic projects for their host organization. Live in the BU/BC area in apartments with your cohort, plus other perks!

Fellows are paired with a peer mentor, a Changemaker Coach – who are UNH students with experience in our programs and changemaking here on campus and in the community. They're here to help you make the most of your UNH experience, while driving social, environmental and economic action.
"Being a part of the Changemaker Fellowship has not only allowed me to meet peers of similar mindsets, yet who are so diverse in what their majors are and what they want to accomplish, but has also allowed me to create change and make an impact on campus."

Fellows attend monthly "happy hours" with the Changemaker Coaches and guest speakers – great networking and resource opportunities to get involved on campus and beyond.
"Being a Changemaker Fellow has given me the network and the opportunities I need to help solve today’s most pressing problems.”
