MISSION:
As an enabler in the ecosystem of design for social good, we aim to deepen our social impact by curating events, conducting educational programmes, community activities, and connecting public, private, and people stakeholders through design. We Make The Change with 3 programs:

Creative Services for NGOs and Social Enterprises

MTC provides design and creative services for NGOs and social enterprises with the help of our volunteers. In the last 2 years, with one full-time staff and many volunteers, we have rendered design and community development services to 34 organizations from NGOs, Social Enterprises, Change Makers and Corporations. These projects were made possible with 128 skilled volunteers and 140 young professionals. Based on the design services we have rendered to these organizations, on average, we achieved savings of SGD$60,000.00 from our pro-bono design rates. MTC Community Development
Through education and mentorship, Make The Change (MTC) engages the creative community to volunteer their time and expertise in social projects and help social enterprises and NGOs achieve their social missions. Our programs empower students from low-income communities through education; learning skills in marketing, advertising, and design. MTC CSR Engagement
When we work together, we bring solutions for community improvements. MTC organises workshops and events that connect corporate organisations to various communities such as at-risk youths and the elderly to come up with a campaign for a social cause.

✨ Big dreams, bigger impact! In celebration of Youth Day, we hit the streets of Singapore to ask the next generation a powerful question: If you had the opportunity, what is one global cause you’d change or are most passionate about? 🌍💡

Today’s youth are thinking deeply about the macro issues affecting our global community. Their answers prove one central truth—the youth aren’t just waiting for the future; they are ready to drive change today. 🚀🔥

At Make The Change, we are consistently inspired by the empathy, clarity, and determination of the young leaders around us.

Recently, our team had the incredible privilege of attending the B Lab Asia Summit 2026! Connecting with businesses, sustainability leaders, and social enterprises from across the region served as a beautiful reminder that business can truly be a powerful force for good. 🌟🌍

As a Certified B Corporation and a social enterprise, the conversations we had completely reinforced the core principles that guide our work at Make The Change every single day. True impact isn’t built in a day; it requires continuous learning, strict accountability, and open collaboration across sectors.

No single organization can fix today‘s social and environmental challenges alone—but by pooling our resources, measuring what matters, and maintaining a constant growth mindset, we can build a much more inclusive and sustainable future. 🚀🌱

Our team walk away from the summit with fresh ideas, incredible new connections, and a completely renewed motivation to keep raising our own standards as we continue our B Corp re-certification journey!
