Chris Arnold
Founder & Executive Director, Made Impact
Chris is a social entrepreneur behind various international exchange organisations like Camp Leaders and Smaller Earth Group. In 2010 he created Your Big Year a campaign to engage global youth. This subsequently became global youth movement, World Merit, that partnered with the United Nations. Chris found international education & exchange was incorrectly kept peripheral in strategy meetings. He founded Made Impact to better position a sector that repeatedly revealed its critical importance throughout his career. Made Impact is set to strengthen the impact of international education & exchange, coalescing an industry behind an ambitious first aim of collecting one million stories of impact and securing a Nobel Peace Prize.
