What Are Change Chapters?

Change Chapters are student-led organizations on college campuses working to address health equity issues in their communities. Each chapter focuses on local health challenges while connecting to a broader network of student advocates.

Whether it's food security, mental health access, or community health education, chapters work on initiatives that matter to their campus and surrounding community.
