Become a Design for Change Partner
We believe in a world
where all young people have
the knowledge, skills and
mindsets to be
designers of change.
Design for Change USA is a non-profit that teaches students how to think, not what to think, so they can make a world of Change!
Through a simple four step design thinking process: Feel, Imagine, Do, Share, DFC creates opportunities for students to learn about the UN Global Goals, build empathy, and use their creative skills to find and implement solutions.
Join us to reach 1 million children!
“Hasbro is proud to support Design for Change USA and their incredible work to empower young people to foster empathy, turn it into action and make a difference in their communities.”
