“A wise person plants seeds so their descendants will know shade”

Welcome to the ShadeMakers website. We look forward to partnering with you. We believe in using student voice to create schools where young people can grow, belong, and thrive. We empower young people to be agents of change in their home communities and invite adults to become mentors, listeners, and informed strategists. We believe in pairing the expert in the field with the expert in the need, until the expert in the need can become the expert in the field. We are so grateful you are here and look forward to creating shade together.
