Emergence Pictures is proud to announce the Broadcast Premiere of

Changemakers: Teens Who Learn and Earn!  Changemakers, a collaborative effort between the Sundance Family Foundation, TPT (Twin Cities Public Television), and Emergence Pictures, introduces audiences to 5 amazing groups of Minnesota teens who are changing their communities and lives through Youth Social Entrepreneurship (YSE).

From a girl-owned coffee shop in rural Staples, MN to organic farms and farm markets in urban East St. Paul, teens across the state of Minnesota are leading the way toward sustainable change for their communities, their families, and themselves. These youth are part of a larger national movement called Youth Social Entrepreneurship (YSE). Adolescents committed to YSE enterprises discover opportunities to be a part of something bigger than themselves, and at the same time, come to understand that they are change makers for their own futures. This show explores how these initiatives give teens real life business development opportunities and provide significant steps towards building successful futures. Changemakers introduces viewers to four YSE groups in Minnesota.
