Help us celebrate 10 years of Changemakers! For ten years, the Changemakers Network has been an integral chapter in the lives of hundreds of Maine youth who are passionate about caring for the environment and creating social change.

You can support these youth by donating any amount to help fund this year's Changemakers Gathering taking place in September. $100 sponsors one youth’s attendance to the gathering. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for our 10-year Changemakers Anniversary.

The Changemakers Gathering (September 26-27, 2025) is a two-day retreat that takes place annually in the fall at Tanglewood 4-H Camp & Learning Centers for both youth and adult mentors. This intergenerational community building event is free for youth ages 15-30 and creates a space for fostering youth leadership through skill building, workshops, inspiring speakers, and forming relationships in a relaxing retreat environment in the outdoors of Wabanaki territory / Maine. Learn more about the event here.

This year, we are also inviting alumni of past Changemakers Gatherings to attend the 10-year anniversary gathering to build community across generations of Changemakers and celebrate the efforts of all of the people who have contributed to Maine’s environmental and youth climate movements.
