Defying stereotypes,
creating change.
We are a 17,500 strong network of changemakehers.
Our mission is to close the gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths, Leadership & Entrepreneurship.
A letter from our founder,
Changemakeher was founded as a result of my own experiences as a teenager. I was 15 before I met a female software engineer. At 16, I was the only girl in my digital technology class and at 17 I was the only girl studying Advanced Physics. I started Changemakeher, because I knew that something had to change.
From that initial point of isolation, Changemakeher is now a global network of 17,500 high school aged members and our programmes have been implemented in over 100 schools across Australia, New Zealand, and The Cook Islands.
Our members, who are spread across the pacific, from Canberra to the Cook Islands, are united by their passion to use 21st century skills to solve problems in their day-to-day lives and make a positive impact on the world.
At Changemakeher, we believe the gender gap is an issue we must all come together to solve. With your support, we will continue to build a future where our next generation of women leaders will have choices, purpose and power.
Thank you for your continued belief in our mission.

has truly impacted how I walk down the street.
I walk taller, I think more of myself, I feel connected to others.
It has been an amazing journey. "
