Journey For Change Sponsors

The following companies and foundations sponsored Journey for Change: Empowering Youth Through Global Service by providing funding, pro bono services, and necessary goods.

Without their immense contribution, the Journey for Change team could not have coordinated such a rich and diverse program for our Bushwick, Brooklyn participants.

The Angelrock Project encourages all visitors to exercise their consumer power by visiting all of our partners websites and support these companies who so generously championed our mission to enrich the lives of inner-city youth.
