How it works

Your Changemaker Portal

The portal is the backbone of how our programs run. One secure online database holds your role, your training, your checklist and your hours, from acceptance to your last day.

Your progress, in one placeVisible to you and the board, nobody else.

What the portal is

The Changemaker Portal is our online database and your home base. It keeps every changemaker's role, responsibilities, weekly tasks, training, checklist, hours and progress in one place. That lets the foundation plan, support and report on its programs from the same information.

How you get in

You apply for a project or role, and our founder and board chair review every application by hand, usually within 48 hours. You get an email the moment you are approved, and then your dashboard, tasks, training and hour logging all unlock.

You sign in with Google, or with a one-time email link that works for 15 minutes. There is no password to remember. Open the portal sign-in page.

What you will find inside

Dashboard: your role, your responsibilities and this week's tasks
Training Hub: your orientation and required courses, including safeguarding, our Code of Conduct, and Ghana preparation and health abroad
Checklist: your step-by-step list, including your pre-travel check-in and trip dashboard for Ghana
Your weekly breakdown: your week-by-week plan for your placement, with the check-ins for every week
Hour logging: log your hours in about 30 seconds, write a weekly reflection and join your midpoint check-in

Ghana 2027: the readiness track for travelers

For Ghana interns

Your portal guides you from acceptance to departure and through your stay. You finish your training, work through your readiness checklist, and then log your daily hours in Ghana. You leave one handover-ready deliverable, so the work keeps going after you fly home. See pre-departure support.

Your privacy

Your hours and progress stay visible to you and the board, nobody else. Safeguarding training is required for everyone, because the portal is a trusted space on purpose. Read our privacy policy.
