Where do all the do-gooders go to spread their message and gather support? Before, they could do it alone, or try to navigate through the murky waters of Myspace or Facebook to reach others that share their vision of positive change. Now there’s a social network - Changents.com, specifically for people and organizations that are out there making a difference in the world. Social and environmental issues are the main focus, and Changents helps connect change agents and backers.
A Change Agent is an individual or group (generally personified by one or two “faces”) with an innovative project or tangible plan on making substantive change within a particular social issue (corporate responsibility, climate change, disaster relief, education, environment, human rights, refugees… to name just a few). …
Changents provides the platform for the Change Agent to tell their story, attracting Backers interested in interacting with and helping the Change Agent in one or all of five different roles. Those roles are:
- Fan – A fan supports the cause from the sidelines, following the story and cheering the Change Agent on.
- Buzz Builder – Got a bit of a following yourself? Access to any sort of platform? Take a more active role and shout about it from your own mountaintop.
- Angel – Everybody loves somebody with a knack for raising money. Every Change Agent needs money in support of their cause. (Note that this is available to Change Agents with a 501c non-profit status.)
- First Responder – If you’re able to act quickly when a need arises, get on the Change Agent’s “short list”.
- Advocate - Not afraid to speak “truth to power”? Help create change from the inside.
