About Us
Change Coach is an initiative of Creative Communities International.
Creative Communities was established in 2002 to help communities unleash their potential. Over the years we have focused on: giving children independent mobility (we invented the Walking School Bus and other walk to school programs); designing great public spaces; and teaching design professionals the secrets of creating places with heart. All this work culminated in us developing the 7 Day Makeover, which enables communities to reinvigorate a public space in just seven days, and on a shoestring budget.
In 2018, we launched Change Coach, to assist individuals who want to make their lives count for something.
Creative Communities International has two directors: David Engwicht and Jodi Stojanov.
David Engwicht
