Empowering for Career Leadership Success
No matter where your college journey begins—whether you’re the first in your family to attend college or returning to education after time away—The Circle of Change Foundation is here to support you. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are dedicated to providing the resources, guidance, and opportunities that will set you on the path to success. Through transformative leadership conferences, career development training, mentorship programs, and impactful experiences, we empower students to excel professionally, lead with purpose, and create lasting change in their communities and beyond. Your journey matters, and we’re here to help you thrive.
Our Approach:
Empowering Change, One Student at a Time
Career Readiness
for Gen Z:
In an era where 60% of companies have scaled back Gen Z hiring, we provide students with the essential tools, skills, and confidence needed to secure and excel in future career opportunities.
Leadership Training for Lifelong Success:
With fewer than 5% of organizations offering leadership training across all levels, we fill the gap by equipping our participants with the skills to lead with purpose—both during college and throughout their professional lives.
Transformative Mentorship Opportunities:
Studies show that having a mentor can increase career advancement potential by five times. Through our mentorship programs, students connect with diverse, accomplished professionals who guide and shape their path to success.
Inspiring Positive
Impact:
More than 90% of students want to create meaningful change in the world. We harness this passion by providing the motivation, resources, and knowledge to empower them to lead initiatives that make a difference in their communities and beyond.
