Inspiring student-led change since 2010.
Students Rebuild was created in 2010 to enlist young people to help their peers after a devastating earthquake in Haiti, and the effort was met with the outpouring of compassion from students around the world.
Every year since then, Students Rebuild has brought together students and teachers around the world for collective action, using our unique combination of creativity and philanthropy as a doorway to greater global understanding.
How It Works
Students Rebuild empowers young people ages 5-25 to take direct action and see firsthand how they
can make a difference. The project is adaptable and can be scaled from a single lesson to a full year. We
provide free resources to help you teach within whatever time and space you have.

3. Create

4. Share
Submit students’ work. Each creative work or student engaged unlocks a $5 donation to global charities, up to $1M.

Holistic Learning, for an hour, a semester, or a year.
Students Rebuild provides the prompts for creative expression and education resources to empower a new generation eager to make a difference, building a community of global problem solvers.
Creative expression as a catalyst for immediate and long-term change.
When students express themselves creatively, they fully engage in mind, body, and spirit. Creativity equals action; it’s a universal language everyone everywhere can embrace.
