About Difference Makers Global
Founded by Someone Who Answered the Call
Dr. Shumonte Cooper is a retired U.S. Army veteran with over two decades of humanitarian service across four continents, along with a PhD in Global Leadership and Human Services.
He founded Difference Makers Global with a fundamental belief: real change occurs when individuals step up and take responsibility for their communities.
From disaster response efforts in more than 11 U.S. states to home construction projects in Nairobi, DMG facilitates impact mobilization by connecting purpose-driven people with opportunities to serve, grow, and lead.
We don't just talk about change; we create it. We don't merely inspire; we activate.
If you can help someone, you should. If you can lead, you must, fostering leadership development along the way.
