Drive Social Impact and Spur Innovation Across Sectors
The Accelerating Social Transformation (AST) program catalyzes the potential of social impact leaders from across the non-profit, foundation, development and business communities to drive transformational social change. While many social leaders are currently balancing crisis management, rapid response, and recovery in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many are also looking at this moment as an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate social transformation. To achieve this they need opportunities to find community, heal and grow, share resources, and devise strategies for advancing transformative social change.
AST is a thought-provoking experience that will deliver fresh thinking and new tools to help you lead and accelerate social impact initiatives you are working on. The executive leadership program is designed for mid-career professionals working in – or, contemplating a switch to – the social development space. We invite you to be a part of this innovative approach to professional and personal development and join our 2021 global cohort.
You will:
- Learn the tenants of a ‘Purpose Mindset’
- Think more broadly and deeply about the major challenges facing social entrepreneurs.
- Listen to industry influencers and leading-edge organizations about how to adapt to and embrace transformational change.
- Cultivate a high impact network of collaborators
- Improve your effectiveness as a leader and social entrepreneur as you navigate complex operating environments.
