SICC Changemakers

At Social Investing for Children Canada (SICC), Changemakers are the heart of our mission. They are individuals and families who take action to create educational opportunity, strengthen communities, and build long-term financial pathways for children across Canada.

We are currently accepting SICC Changemaker applications from individuals aged 18 and above who wish to contribute through volunteering, fundraising, mentorship, and community engagement.

Our Changemaker Community

SICC Changemakers are organized into four main categories:

Family Changemakers

Elementary and secondary students may participate in SICC activities through this category when represented by a parent or guardian.

Family Changemakers are led by parents or guardians who represent their household in supporting SICC initiatives.

They often:

• Lead family-based fundraising and participation activities

• Encourage children’s awareness of financial literacy and social impact

• Support school and community engagement efforts

• Act as ambassadors for RESP-focused programs

Family Changemakers help connect intergenerational values of care, education, and opportunity.

Post-secondary Student Changemakers

Post-secondary Student Changemakers are university, college, or vocational students who contribute energy, creativity, and leadership.

They are active agents in:

• Creating and executing 100-day Social Spark Challenges

• Organizing peer-led fundraising initiatives

• Supporting school outreach and community events

• Developing leadership, project management, and civic engagement skills

This pathway helps students build real-world experience while contributing to meaningful social outcomes.

Corporate Volunteer Changemakers

Corporate Volunteer Changemakers are professionals who participate through workplace volunteering programs and team engagement.

They often:

• Join team-based volunteering or fundraising challenges

• Provide mentorship and skills-based support

• Participate in community events and SICC campaigns

• Support CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) objectives

This group helps bridge professional expertise with community impact.

Community Changemakers

Community Changemakers are individuals from the broader public who are committed to supporting children’s education and social development.

They often:

• Participate in fundraising or awareness campaigns

• Volunteer at events and initiatives

• Contribute to local community-building activities

• Advocate for education savings and equity initiatives

This group forms the foundation of a strong, inclusive civic network.
