Our Program
The Student Changemakers program is designed to equip young leaders with the social entrepreneurship and changemaker skills they need to overcome health challenges in their communities and worldwide. Over the course of 1.5 days, selected students will run through interactive workshops, exercises and challenges on changemaking, social entrepreneurship and community health engagement. This program is made possible through the support of Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) and Ashoka’s Youth Venture.
During the workshops, student teams will be given the opportunity to develop their health ventures with mentorship from experts at Stanford Medicine X.
