Welcome to Voice for Change

At Voice for Change, we believe in the power of stories to drive action.

These Community Guidelines are designed to ensure that every member of our community contributes in a respectful, safe, and impactful way.

Community gathering for positive change

1. Purpose and Scope

What is Voice for Change?

Voice for Change is a video-first platform where individuals and organizations come together to create, share, and support content that promotes positive change aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We believe in education before enforcement. Our guidelines are shared through onboarding tutorials, friendly reminders, help center resources, and email updates — so that every voice can rise responsibly.
