Students Rebuild
AboutStudents have the power to change the world today. Through Students Rebuild’s annual projects, young people ages 5-25 learn, connect, and take action on important global issues using their creativity.
Over the past 15 years, hundreds of thousands of young people and educators around the world have participated in Students Rebuild projects, from taking action on environmental issues to the refugee crisis to fighting hunger.
2026: Unique & United Project
Latest ProjectThis year, we’re inviting youth around the globe ages 5-25, to join us on a journey to help shape a more united world. Unique and United invites young people to explore their identities, celebrate their differences, and use creative expression as a force for empathy, unity, and bold ideas capable of making a positive impact on our communities and the world.
The next project will be live in late summer.
How It Works
The ProcessStudents Rebuild empowers young people ages 5-25 to take direct action and see firsthand how they can make a difference. The project is adaptable and can be scaled from a single lesson to a full year. We provide free resources to help you teach within whatever time and space you have.
Learn
Explore resources like lesson plans, art guides, and videos that help students explore who they are – their traits, experiences, and stories – and reflect on the shared humanity between individuals, cultures, and communities.
Create
Encourage students to express their vision for a more united world through their choice of literary, media, performing and visual arts, or STEM.
Share
Submit students’ creative works to Students Rebuild. Each submission or student engaged raises $5 to support organizations worldwide that foster connection and champion collaborative change, up to $1 million.

“Through Students Rebuild and different classes at our school, I’ve been able to expand my mind and know more about the world in general. Also, it’s sparked interest in what I want to pursue for the rest of my life.”
“I love how Students Rebuild allows my students to connect to not only students within their own community but to students in other countries across the globe. They loved that they could be a part of that.”
“I believe projects like this bridge the gap and make our global community that much smaller. You’re motivated to think about other people and see what you can do to improve a situation not just at home but somewhere else.”

What’s the dollar match for each piece of creative expression submitted or each student who participates?
For every piece of creative expression or youth engaged, we make a $5 donation to our Impact Partners. Since 2010, more than $12.5 million has been raised, benefiting over 450,000 youth around the world. To incentivize youth to go deeper with projects that may take more time or effort, Creative Visions will trigger a $5 donation for each student who participates.

Where does the donated money come from?
The way it works is simple: our annual Projects invite students to respond to a specific problem affecting young people. Teachers and students explore the issue in class, create art based on their learnings, and send it to us. For every piece of art submitted, we make a financial donation to organizations making a difference in the space.
We ask them to make an impact by creating expressions that reflect their care and concern, and Creative Visions, with the generous support of the Bezos Family Foundation, donates based on those submissions. This approach ensures that youth from all backgrounds and countries can contribute to solving critical global issues.
