What breaks your heart? Tackle that with Quest2Matter

Quest2Matter is a youth-focused effort that encourages young people to tackle problems that break their heart. The Quest seeks to unlock the potential of young people to think entrepreneurially and innovatively and use modern tools to change our world.

What is The Quest?
The Quest is a catalyst that challenges students:


Students who accept this challenge will know that they matter and that they can make a difference in our world.

What makes a good quest?

Ask yourself three questions.

1) Does your quest change the world for the better?

  • Great ideas dare to question the normal ways of doing things.
  • They also dare us to do things that many others may disagree with.
  • We're looking for rule breakers who are working hard to bring their big idea to light.
2) What have you done in the real world with your idea?
  • We're looking for stories about things that have actually happened (as opposed to things you want to have happen).
  • Stories of failing are welcome too - especially if you picked yourself up and kept on going.
  • That's because true innovation comes from trying things all the time, and most of us can't make our big ideas real without making mistakes along the way.
3) Can you get personal and tell a great story?
  • Great social change begins with something personal.
  • We'll be looking for students who can share a first-hand story (preferably through video) and inspire others to make their own impact.
