Hear from our alumni about how YCB shaped their journey and sparked their changemaking spirit.
"YCB made me realize that changemaking isn't about age, resources, or background, it's all about mindset and the courage to begin. Every speaker, mentor, and even my fellow participants inspired me in their own unique way, pushing me to think deeper and dream bigger."
"YCB showed me what learning outside classrooms truly feels like. The exposure visits, team activities, and dialogues pushed me out of my comfort zone. I learned to collaborate, to listen deeply, and to think differently, lessons that no textbook could have given."
"The best part about YCB was how real it felt. The mentors didn't talk about change theoretically; they showed us what it looks like in action. I learned how passion can turn into purpose, and purpose into something that truly helps people."
"YCB felt like stepping into a world where imagination met purpose. From learning about AI to sharing ideas with like-minded changemakers, every moment was filled with inspiration. It's where I stopped doubting myself and started believing that I could actually build something meaningful."
"YCB taught me that changemaking isn't a one-time act, it's a mindset you live with. The sessions helped me connect my interests with impact, while the friendships I made became my support system for every challenge I've faced since then."
"Young Changemakers Bootcamp was truly a life-changing experience. From learning to express ideas to building confidence, it shaped my mindset and helped me discover a newer, more confident version of myself. The workshops completely changed how I see the world and my role in it."
