Inspiring & Empowering Our Next Generation

Changing Norms, Inc. is a transformative nonprofit organization committed to empowering the next generation of leaders by bridging gaps in education, workforce development, and personal growth. We create life-changing opportunities for youth in traditionally underserved communities through immersive programs integrating STEM education, leadership development, cultural exploration, and mentorship.​​

 

Our mission is to inspire innovation, promote civic responsibility, and equip students with the tools and confidence needed to thrive in college, careers, and beyond.

 

For Youth Seeking Growth:
We provide a dynamic environment where young people can challenge themselves, explore cutting-edge technology, and discover their passions through robotics, AI, and hands-on learning experiences.

​​

For Parents Focused on Success:
We offer a structured, empowering program that prepares students for the future—equipping them with financial literacy, professional skills, and cultural awareness to excel in school and life.

​​

For Organizations and Educators Seeking Impact:

We partner with schools, community-based organizations, and educational leaders to deliver consulting services that strengthen programming, build capacity, and foster innovation. Our offerings include curriculum design, leadership development, program evaluation, and workshops that empower educators and institutions to maximize their impact on youth. Through our year-long curriculum, mentorship, and STEM enrichment, we not only transform student outcomes but also equip organizations and educators with the tools to sustain lasting change.  

​​

Together, we’re changing norms, opening doors, and shaping brighter futures—one student at a time.
