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.

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.
