4th Annual Change Bowl's Changemaker Interviews Sign Up

Change Makes Change!

The Change Bowl is a student-led experience designed to empower the next generation of changemakers ages 8–18 who are passionate about improving their schools and communities.

Think Shark Tank—reimagined for community impact. Students develop and pitch ideas that address real needs across North Texas, including education, health, the environment, arts, equity, and overall well-being.

This interview is a required step in the Change Bowl selection process. It gives students the opportunity to share more about their idea, their motivation, and their commitment to seeing their project through. Interviews are conversational, encouraging, and focused on getting to know each student beyond their application.

Change Bowl is powered by House of Shine’s Leadership Institute and emphasizes leadership, confidence, and follow-through. Selected changemakers receive mentorship, professional feedback, and the opportunity to earn funding to bring their ideas to life.
