Games for Change, a non-profit organization “empowering game creators and social innovators to drive impact through digital games and immersive tech,” has expanded its board and appointed five more members: Samir El Agili, (Tilting Point and Brandible), Benjamin Golant (Tencent Americas), (Xbox, Microsoft), Evan Segal (Segal Ventures), and Mark Stanley (Yelnats Collective).
They join existing board members to guide the expansion and growth of G4C’s mission and its latest initiatives, including its XR for Change, G4C Learn, and Raising Good Gamers programs. Previous projects have included the Games for Change Diverse Voices, New Stories Challenge, which ran in 2023.
“As communities and organizations worldwide experience change at an unprecedented rate, Games for Change is needed more than ever,” said president Susanna Pollack. “We stand at the intersection of creativity and purpose, clear-eyed about the unique co-creation and storytelling power of games to foster empathy and inspire the next generation of changemakers.
“Individually, each of our Board members has worked to empower others through the power of play, not just as entertainment, but for education, entrepreneurship, and global progress. Collectively, the experience of our Board of Directors across marketing, policy, and philanthropy strengthens our ability to forge innovative partnerships and scale our impact in meaningful new ways.”
