The Changemaker Connect Dojo - Online

Welcome to a safe and supportive virtual community where teens discover their way. This is more than an online program — it’s a dynamic, nurturing environment for purposeful learning and self-discovery.

Guided by qualified, value-checked Changemaker Educators, participants explore their authentic selves, express their passions meaningfully, and develop the confidence to thrive in today’s world. Through The Changemaker Way™, they gain practical tools and cultivate both a growth mindset and a legacy mindset — learning to create lasting impact, make intentional choices, and align their lives with a vision that reflects who they truly are.

Not about martial arts — it’s about life.

This is a Project Dojo, and the teen's project is themselves. In this innovative, self-directed, life-changing space, teens learn, have fun, and grow while building habits, refining beliefs, mastering emotions and communication, and aligning their environment and decisions to create a confident, independent future.

Program Details:

The Changemaker Connect Dojo runs for 10 weeks, on the same day and time each week — Thursdays, 1:30–3:00 pm AEST. Sessions are recorded for your convenience, although the real transformation happens when attending live, where connection and energy are strongest. During online sessions, we use breakout rooms so participants can work closely in smaller groups with qualified educators, making the experience both personal and interactive.

3 Modules of The Changemaker Way™ at a Glance

Module 1: The Path to a Meaningful Life (Weeks 1–5)
We start with helping your teen look at who they are now and what matters to them. They reflect on their past and present and begin shaping a vision for the next 1, 5, or even 10 years. This is where their own “why” starts to make sense, and they begin to see the direction they want to take.

Module 2: Young Heroes — Telling Your Story (Weeks 6–7)
Your teen starts to recognise the skills, experiences, and qualities that make them who they are. They share this in a way that feels natural to them — whether through words, art, music, or other creative expression. This builds confidence and gives them a way to talk about themselves that feels real, useful, and true.

Module 3: Where Passion, a Plan, and Action Meet (Weeks 8–10)
This is where it all comes together. With the guidance of our Changemaker Educators, your teen creates a plan that connects their passions with practical steps they can take now. They leave with a clear pathway — their own Changemaker Way™ — and the skills to start making it happen.

Recommended Add-On:

If you haven't already, we highly recommend purchasing the 4x 1:1 Specialist Support Sessions. These complement the group sessions and allow your teen to meet privately with a Changemaker Educator to bring together all the learnings from each module into a clear, personal pathway. By the end of the project, they will have begun to integrate their discoveries, while these one-on-one sessions at the end of each module ensure any remaining personal questions are answered and unique goals are supported. Parents are welcome to attend these private sessions to gain insight, or even sit in on the first Dojo session if it helps the young person and / or the parent feel more comfortable.

Everything we do is designed to allow participants and their families feel supported, safe, and confident to move through the process and discover their authentic self — because being authentic is what makes someone a true changemaker.

Gone are the days of feeling unseen, unheard, or uncertain about the next step. Here, participants clarify their needs and wants, overcome challenges, and turn aspirations into achievements — discovering who they were, who they are now, and who they are becoming in a changing world.
