Goals / Remit
Reach for Change is an international non profit organization with the mission to unleash the power of social entrepreneurs and create a world where all children and youth reach their full potential. We were founded in 2010 and have so far supported more than 2,000 change leaders across 18 countries, who in turn reached over 4.7 million children and youth with their innovative solutions. As well as capacity development, we also work to develop local and national social entrepreneurship ecosystems and have over the years become prominent sectoral stakeholders in countries such as Sweden, Latvia, Ghana and Ethiopia. Our 2030 strategy has challenged us to multiply our impact ten-fold and reach over 30 million children and youth over the next decade, focusing particularly on the thematic areas of poverty, inequality and climate change.

Meetings
Meetings
2 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
