Restoring Ecosystems to Balance: Jungle to Underwater ChangeMaker

Restoring Ecosystems to Balance: Jungle to Underwater – ChangeMaker is a 6-week immersive gap year program for individuals aged 17–22, focusing on environmental conservation and cultural engagement across Thailand and the Philippines. Participants begin in Bangkok, exploring sustainability challenges, then move to Kanchanaburi to engage in reforestation, sustainable agriculture, and eco-construction projects. The journey continues in Cebu, where participants earn Open Water and Advanced Diving certifications and contribute to coral reef restoration alongside local communities. Throughout the program, students develop leadership skills, gain hands-on experience in ecosystem restoration, and immerse themselves in diverse cultures, making a tangible impact on both land and sea.
