greeNEWit’s Agents of Change Program recruits high school and college students with an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for social change to assist with social media, marketing and development needs. Students can get hands on experience as social entrepreneurs by means of two of greeNEWit’s social projects: Cleats for Bare Feet and the OUR Schools program.
Through the program, greeNEWit provides students with important career skills and instills a passion in them for entrepreneurship and sustainable living. The goal is to create a collaborative working environment that fosters the generation and sharing of ideas.

Asif Majid is a wonderful example of UMBC’s commitment to “produce socially engaged
citizens who graduate with the commitment and experience to serve responsibly in their communities, state, and nation.”
An interdisciplinary studies major in Global Peace Building and Conflict Management, Asif’s ongoing inquiry into the nature of human conflict and his search for creative solutions have been a consistent driving force for him both in and out of the classroom. His search to understand and make a difference led him to such diverse experiences as: leading an international summer peace camp for Arab, American and Israeli teenagers in Maine, teaching history and script-writing to middle school students in Minneapolis, leading UMBC students on a an Alternative Spring Break trip focused on homelessness services in Baltimore City, participating in the Model UN Conference at Johns Hopkins, and a year-long study abroad in Morocco.
