Creating the Next Generation of Changemakers

Perhaps now more than ever, the world needs a new generation of young people dedicated to public service—inspired and emboldened by the legacy of President Barack Obama.

The Barack Obama Scholars Program at Occidental College will empower exceptional students committed to the public good as it honors and continues the principles of civic engagement President Obama advanced during his Presidency.

These principles were shaped by the people and ideas Barack Obama encountered while a student at Occidental College. Now the Obama Scholars Program, with the wholehearted backing of President Obama himself, will open opportunities to students whose life trajectories might otherwise prevent them from realizing their full potential.

As our philanthropic partner, your involvement will provide the foundation for this iconic program, which will nurture the agents of change who seek to realize a stronger society.
