What We Do
- Convene experts to create narratives of thriving and needed field tools
- Serve as a global resource for human resilience education
- Equip communities to prepare for and respond to disruptions
- Commission academic research and translate the findings into freely available resources
- Lead global professional development experiences that strengthen helpers and vulnerable communities
Why Our Work Matters
We live in turbulent times. Too often, when bad things happen, structures that help people cope are not in place. People are suffering unnecessarily. Worldmaker equips leaders and helpers to thrive and to unleash the power of human potential. We shape academic work understood by the few into practical tools used by the many.

A note from our CEO
It’s hard to believe how taking action from that “not on my watch” moment years ago when my community was senselessly losing young lives has propelled our Worldmaker team through hundreds of thousands of miles traveled and lives touched across the U.S. and around the world,
