As the Founder of Rising Changemakers and Co-founder of Youth Today Magazine, she leads with a focus on building movements—not moments—by equipping young people to create tangible, community-rooted change.

Her work centers on reshaping narratives, scaling impact-driven initiatives, and fostering spaces where empathy and critical thinking drive real outcomes.

Hi, I’m Mia Collins. I’m 16 years old and in 10th grade. I’ve lived in Egypt, Morocco, Brazil, India, and now Argentina, which has helped me grow into someone who’s empathetic, open-minded, and easy to talk to. I care deeply about making people feel heard and understood.

I joined the Youth Advisory Board because I value empathy and believe in creating spaces where everyone feels supported. I’m especially passionate about LGBTQ+ rights and equality, and I hope to bring thoughtful, honest feedback to the conversations we have. Outside of school, I love baking (especially brownies), running, and walking my dog.
