In their words:

Changents is a storytelling and social networking platform that connects emerging iconoclasts social and environmental change – Change Agents – with a worldwide "fan-base" of active supporters who want to help them.

Changents provides a rich set of tools for Change Agents to tell their exciting, ongoing stories; broadcast those stories around the Internet; and build teams of Backers. Site users are enabled to create change side-by-side with the Change Agents that inspire them and take on roles that align to their personal skills and interests.

Changents focuses on the power of charismatic individuals and their incredible personal journeys – rather than traditional institutions and non-profits – as the drivers of scalable change movements. Changents is a for-profit, socially responsible company. The site launched in Beta in June 2008.
