Over 1M Youth Engaged, $16.6M Million Raised, and 7M Works of Art
Today, Students Rebuild, founded by the Bezos Family Foundation and now powered by Creative Visions, marks 15 years of global youth empowerment, celebrating over 1 million youth participants, $16.6 million raised, and 7 million works of art created worldwide. This milestone comes with the launch of its 2025-2026 Unique & United project – an open invitation for young people everywhere to use creative action to explore identity, bridge divides, and build connection.
From now until June 1, 2026, students, youth leaders, parents, and educators can learn more and sign up for the Students Rebuild 2025-2026 project at www.studentsrebuild.org. There they’ll access free resources, lesson plans, creative toolkits, and can submit creative works in any medium. Each submission or student engaged sparks a $5 donation, up to $1 million, for organizations fostering connection and championing collaborative change worldwide.
“Right now, young people are facing a world of division, uncertainty, and rapid change,” says Pat Chandler, CEO of Creative Visions. “Yet they are seeking ways to understand themselves and connect with others. This year’s project, Unique & United, helps students explore their uniqueness, challenge assumptions, and build bridges and empathy through creative expression.”
