Reach for Change is an international non profit organization with the mission to unleash the power of innovation and entrepreneurship to create a better world for children and youth. Our vision is a world where all children reach their full potential. We achieve this by empowering local social entrepreneurs to develop and scale innovative solutions to problems facing children and youth. We were founded in 2010 and we have supported more than 1,000 social entrepreneurs in 18 countries across 3 continents (Africa, Central Asia, and Europe). Their solutions have in turn supported over 4.3 million children and youth. Today, Reach for Change has a portfolio of 1000+ social entrepreneurs across 18 countries and a local presence in 9 countries across Africa and Europe.
Reach for Change achieves its vision through 3 main types of activity; direct support programs to local social entrepreneurs (social purpose organisations (SPOs)), ecosystem development work, and collective impact offerings.Main EU files targeted
Reach for Change is a global foundation which has offices and/or footprint in a number of EU member states, including Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Lithuania, Sweden and others. In each of these countries Reach for Change works in close cooperation with the relevant public institutions, including Ministries and other local and state agencies, but also in cooperation with the Representations of the European Commission and the Information Bureaus of the European Parliament.
As a well-established and respected organisation Reach for Change is often invited by the relevant state authorities to provide its expertise on different policies and draft legislation, especially in the field of social entrepreneurship and social innovation, as well on specific topics such as children's rights.
At an EU level, Reach for Change's EU representative is part of the European Commission Expert group on social economy and social enterprises (GECES) (2018-2024).Address
