Programme Overview
Initiatives of Change, India invites you to join the Changemakers Collective Fellowship, a five-month transformative journey based at Asia Plateau. The programme aims to nurture individuals who will create meaningful change in their communities and beyond—beginning with themselves.
Fellows will contribute directly to the daily operations of Asia Plateau while engaging in specialized training, self-led initiatives and community-building activities. This equips them with the skills, capacity and mindset necessary to become effective changemakers in their own contexts.
