About us
We are five students at Maygasse Business Academy in Vienna. We are building the platform we wish we had.
Why FutureChange exists
Climate change, misogyny and racism are not side issues. They weigh on our generation, and many of us want to change something. But we often don’t know where to start, or which organisations we can trust.
At the same time, organisations are looking for young people who want to help shape things. That is exactly where we come in: we collect ways to get involved in Vienna, check them against clear values and explain them so they land.
Our vision: a young community that grows together. Through debate, engagement, mutual support and fun.

How we are funded
No ads and no political parties. Our idea mostly costs time, and we put that in ourselves. We are funding the website through a crowdfunding campaign. For running costs we are applying for funding as an Erasmus+ youth participation project. Prize money from competitions helps too.
