At Inspire to Change, we recognize the multifaceted nature of social change. We've identified twenty-two essential roles that form the backbone of effective transformation. These roles are not just functions; they're the life force of any transformative endeavor. Without individuals embodying and enacting these roles, initiatives may falter or fail to reach their full potential. It's the synergy of these diverse roles that fuels healthy and impactful transformation.​

 

We specifically chose to use the word 'role' rather than 'job'. In the realm of changemaking, a role transcends a job title; it encompasses an individual's overarching contributions, functions, or responsibilities within a movement or initiative. It reflects a deeper sense of purpose or type of impact changemakers hope to live out or achieve in the world. These roles are dynamic, adapting to the changing needs of the cause or movement. Often, we find ourselves embodying multiple roles, dynamically leading in some scenarios while supporting in others.​
