I\u2019m making REAL change with my Farm and Wellness<\/a> business that empowers individuals to create lives in harmony with both themselves and the planet.<\/p>Bethany Klapwyk<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This year I\u2019ve accomplished running an organic farm, offering land and low-cost programming to marginalized farmers, and running wellness-related workshops for all Farmers. I\u2019m most excited about gathering to do more of my work in person this year! My program, \u201cGrounded Gardening Club\u201d incorporates yoga and somatic healing practices into ecological farming skills-training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be offering this program in person this season. I hope to use farming and wellness programming to help my community re-build and re-connect after the traumas of the pandemic years. I hope to inspire youth and build a more diverse food-production system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ufeffGrowing a garden is one of the most healing activities a person can do. Even if you don\u2019t farm, finding a way to get your hands in the soil is a huge step towards connecting deeper with nature and oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have the power to save lives.<\/p>Sara Miller<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m making REAL change with my nonprofit that activates students who save lives through organ donation advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year our impact has doubled. We\u2019ve educated more than 20,000 students about organ donation and we\u2019re now on more than 40 campuses nationwide! I\u2019m most excited about deepening the support we provide student organ donation advocates. From advising to funding to supplies and more, we\u2019re breaking down barriers for students to save lives in their communities (learn more about our impact at sodanational.org).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to reduce the organ shortage by encouraging more life-saving conversations about organ donation. A single organ donor can save eight lives and enhance the lives of 50 more people, creating a ripple effect with a long-lasting impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started Student Organ Donation Advocates (SODA)<\/a> when I was a freshman in college because. I was eager to advocate for organ donation and share how my sister, Laura, saved a life through organ donation. In the beginning, we were just one chapter in St. Louis. We promoted our advocacy on social media and soon, other students wanted to do the same on their campus. It has been amazing seeing more stories like mine across the country as we recruit more inspiring chapter founders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a student interested in saving lives, check out our website here<\/a>! You have the power to save lives by registering as an organ donor. With the click of a few buttons, you can join the national organ donation registry<\/a>. And, make sure to tell your friends and family about your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want the world to know that your dreams are not too big, and your ideas can become reality.<\/p>Emily Weatherhead<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m making REAL change with my organization, Musicians Found<\/a>, that improves accessibility to musical instruments and programs, while advocating for community change through music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year I\u2019ve accomplished the launch of my organization from the ground up. We\u2019ve started our first initiative, The Music Box Initiative, which is sending instruments to older adults in long-term care and community settings in Ontario, as well as our blog, Musicians Featured<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re also currently in the process of hiring our Board of Directors, and I\u2019m so excited to see where this takes us! I hope to change the lives of older adults in Ontario even more by continuing to provide access to musical instruments, and helping to replicate the connections I\u2019ve seen formed through music programs at a larger scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m most excited about the opportunities for collaboration that are coming to Musicians Found<\/a> \u2013already, I\u2019ve been overwhelmed (positively!) by the number of people who are passionate about our mission and want to help us create change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m most proud of our Musicians Featured<\/em> series, where we interview musicians of all levels to get their insight on how music can act as a catalyst for community change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only has it been a great way to advocate for the importance of accessible music programs, but it\u2019s also been the part of the organization that\u2019s pushed me the furthest out of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite memories is getting to work with another Aerie Changemaker, Rachel Rutter<\/a>. Musicians Found teamed up with Project Libertad<\/a> to send a keyboard to one of their clients, a nine-year-old girl who wanted to learn the piano. It was great to collaborate within the Changemakers<\/a> community to create change together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
