It Takes An Ecosystem To Create Change

Addressing challenges in today’s world requires Changemaking skills and a supportive ecosystem.

Today more than ever, we all face a world of constant change. Advances in technology are lowering the barriers to individual participation and action, enabling more of us to access information and contribute fully in every aspect of society by being a changemaker.

JUST AS IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD, IT TAKES AN ECOSYSTEM TO RAISE A CHANGEMAKER.

THIS ECOSYSTEM IS CREATED THROUGH THE COLLABORATION OF YOUR COMMUNITY’S INSTITUTIONS—SUCH AS SCHOOLS, COMPANIES, AND FAITH ORGANIZATIONS—WORKING TOGETHER TO SUPPORT YOUTH SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

Together we build innovative partnerships, co-create ideas, best practices, and strategies to support the next generation of changemakers in your region.

In our process, we take your community through the Changemaker Journey which is designed to unfold over a nine-month period. Key stakeholders are invited to gather for a series of experiences facilitated by Ashoka staff.

These stakeholders include (but are not limited to) teachers, children, policymakers, and business professionals. We encourage these sessions to have a diverse background of stakeholders that represent the unique members of your community.
