What is the Changemaker Fellowship?
We're glad you're taking your first step to become a UNH Changemaker! The Changemaker Collaborative offers high-impact programs steeped in real-world experiential learning, framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our mission is to inspire, train, and support the next generation of changemakers, to have the experiences necessary to build their confidence, courage and skills to create substantial impact towards a world where people, plant and economies all thrive.
Incoming first-year Changemaker Fellows are paired with a Changemaker Coach - a UNH student and peer mentor, with experience in our Changemaker Collaborative programs. They're here to help you make the most of your UNH experience and figure out how to make positive impact a reality. Fellows attend monthly "happy hours" with Changemaker Coachers and guest speakers, making this an awesome opportunity to get to know new, like-minded and mission-driven friends, network and explore opportunities to get involved and make a difference on campus and beyond.
All Fellows are pre-accepted into our distinguished internship program Semester in the City (fall/spring 16 UNH credits). You can choose to intern in Boston or right here at UNH!
