Changemakers Challenge
Your Team. Their Future.
The Changemakers Challenge is a dynamic, team-based fundraising campaign that invites individuals to form teams and take bold action in support of StreetWise Partners’ mission: advancing career mobility for job seekers from under-served communities.
Our hope is that each team will raise at least $6,500 - the cost of supporting one mentee through the StreetWise Bridge Program. Together, we’re turning generosity into transformation.
Start a team. Set a goal. Fund a future.
