Changemakers Week: Unleashing Philanthropic Potential
Change Makers Week is a dynamic and inspiring project dedicated to sparking positive potential of aspiring philanthropists. We will be traveling to Southern California to work with the non-profit organization, Active Discovery, in supporting financially vulnerable kids to flourish through active discovery of the things they love. This immersive experience is designed to empower participants with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to become change agents in their own right. From personal growth and community engagement to global impact, Change Makers Week aims to awaken the activist, innovator, and advocate within each participant.
Activities include:
- Inspiring keynote speakers and panel discussions
- Hands-on community service projects
- Personal development
- Skill-building
- Networking opportunities
Students will receive some service hours as determined by the leaders (not to exceed 15 hours).
We are seeking trustworthy, mature, and deeply interested students to participate in this opportunity. Please note the extended dates for travel.
Overlake requires that on a day to be specified before departure, Overlake will administer a COVID test to all participants and leaders. To participate in the Project Week, the test must be negative, and students must be symptom-free from any illness to leave on a trip.
Participants must be willing to follow King County and destination travel COVID guidelines. If a participant should become COVID positive during the trip, the student will be isolated, and the student’s family will be required to pick up the student within 36 hours at their current location. The family will bear all the costs associated with any travel to pick up their student and any costs for isolation or return travel.
By selecting the above project, you and your family are accepting the financial responsibility for the cost of the projects. This includes any unrecoverable expenses incurred if Overlake, or any federal, state or local government forces cancelation of the project, or if you or your family decide not to attend, or your student becomes COVID positive and needs to be isolated.
