For the last decade, Changemakers has celebrated the people who make our communities stronger. What began as a way to recognize everyday individuals creating meaningful change has grown into an annual tradition honoring those who make a lasting impact throughout Central Minnesota.
Each year, community members are invited to nominate someone who is creating positive change through service, leadership, kindness, or a commitment to making life better for others. Since its inception, Changemakers has recognized hundreds of individuals who have made a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
Changemakers is about shining a light on the people who often work quietly behind the scenes to make our communities better. By celebrating these individuals, we hope to inspire others, encourage kindness, and remind everyone that one person truly can make a difference.
SCFCU — along with partners St. Cloud LIVE, FaceTime Business Resources and Advantage1 Insurance — is proud to honor those who are making a positive difference in the community as part of our Changemakers Awards!
