A model, not a workshop
The same idea works at three scales.
Trust plus a small investment unlocks capacity that was there all along, whether the one taking the challenge is a youth team, an institution, or a whole society.
Youth
A youth team
becomes Changemakers
Trusted with a small investment, they start a real venture in days.
Institution
A school, university, church, NGO or youth hub
becomes a Changemaker Hub
The institution becomes a place where young people are trusted to act before they prove themselves.
Society
A funder, foundation or ministry
becomes an activator of a network of Hubs
One investment activates many Hubs and reaches many young people at once.
How it works
Trust first. Three levels. Real businesses.
Teams receive a trust-based investment, not a donation or a loan, and grow it across three levels. Make no profit and you owe nothing; the trust was the point. Succeed, and you return the investment and help fund the next team.
Level 1
$25
3 weeks
Start something and earn the first money.
Level 2
$50
4 weeks
A bigger stake and a longer run to build on it.
Level 3
$100
6 weeks
Grow the venture into something that lasts.

Four questions for your leadership team
Is your institution a waiting room or a launchpad?
Ali Raza Khan, who developed this model, asks institution leaders four questions. Most can answer none of them with a number.
- What percentage of your students are changemakers?
- What is your institutional GDP, the value your students and faculty contribute to society?
- What is your student activation rate?
- What share of your graduates leave with societal impact, not only knowledge?
The diagnostic gives you a first honest answer in about three minutes.
