Students are often told they must wait until some unknown time to start making changes in the world. Yet with the right tools and resources, students can and are already leading lasting change in their communities. Design for Change USA (DFC) fosters student agency by recognizing the potential in each child, to be a designer of change. Additionally, young people participating in Design for Change intentionally link their projects to the 17 Global Goals.
