Changemakers: Turning Passion into Lasting Impact | Dallas News

In Tarrant County, a bold new program called Changemakers is empowering community leaders, nonprofit heads, and business owners to turn their passion into lasting social impact. Created by Community Frontline and UT Arlington, this nine-month initiative teaches participants the tools of social entrepreneurship—how to build sustainable models, attract funding, measure success, and collaborate across sectors. Real stories like Regina Smith’s restaurant-turned-community-hub show how for-profits can drive social good with smart strategy. With applications now open for the next cohort, the program evolves its guest speakers and resources while staying true to its mission: breaking down silos and proving that real change happens when diverse changemakers unite.
