TheCHANGEproject
We bring a unique model that centers young leaders with lived experience of health inequity
Work with leaders who understand the issues firsthand and design solutions from within communities.
Our founding chapter, CU CHANGE at CU Denver, reached 200+ students through a community health fair and helped move Colorado health legislation (SB25-045, HB24-1082, HB23-1243) and the Denver flavored tobacco ban.
Our replicable frameworks allow partners to expand impact across multiple communities and institutions.
We prioritize equity and authenticity—'Nothing about us, without us' is our core principle.
Young leaders bring fresh perspectives and creative solutions that traditional models often miss.
Through Nothing About Us, we amplify stories that shift public opinion and open policy windows.
We offer flexible partnership models tailored to your organization's goals and capacity

"The students are pathfinders—the health fair event done in collaboration with CU Change and Mutual AID Monday was phenomenal. Their work as agents of change is greatly appreciated. Keep clearing the beach."
