About
Hello, I'm Kristi Kraychy, Founder of Changemaker Workshops
From a young age, I understood what it felt like to experience the world intensely and think deeply, yet feel pressure to hide those parts of myself. Growing up gifted and highly sensitive taught me both the beauty and the weight of seeing and feeling so much. Over time, I came to understand that this depth was not something to conceal. It was a source of empathy, creativity, and purpose.
That understanding became the heart of Changemaker Workshops - a movement to make change in education through curiosity, creativity, connection, and collaboration.
Our work invites educators, leaders, and students to reimagine what school can be when learning is alive and relationships are at the center. We believe curiosity should guide discovery, creativity should drive problem solving, connection should shape community, and collaboration should make working and teaching in schools joyful and meaningful.
​
For more than twenty years, I have explored teaching, learning, and leadership. My journey began as an affiliate teacher with the Royal Conservatory of Music, running my own studio as a teenager. It continued through teaching across public, private, and charter K-12 classrooms, founding and leading two accredited independent schools in Alberta, and learning from Changemaker schools in Madrid and California while completing my Master’s in Educational Leadership at the University of San Diego.
​
Through Changemaker Workshops, I bring together my experiences and those of the wonderful changemakers who I have have met along the way. Together, we help schools and communities reimagine education that is alive with curiosity, creativity, and connection. My goal is to help every learner and educator recognize their own worth, their capacity to create, and their power to make meaningful change.
