What is the ChangeMaker Academy?
The goal of the Spark ChangeMaker Academy is to help activate and amplify the impact of neighborhood leaders, artists, and visionaries.
This May, the ChangeMaker Academy will offer a half-day workshop focused on community development, sustainability, budgeting basics (Budgeting 101), project refinement and pitching, and advocacy. Upon completion of the workshop, five fellows will be selected from the cohort to receive $2,000 to complete a place-based project focused on the North Omaha Trail, which must be finished by the end of 2025.
The workshop will take place on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Fabric Lab, located at 2514 N 24th St, Omaha, NE 68110. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Attendance is mandatory.
Participants will be responsible for securing their own computer with Microsoft Excel capability to use in class.
Applications must be submitted by 11:59 PM on April 14, 2025. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by April 21, 2025.
