You want a career in social impact.
Yet, the education system has failed to prepare you with the foundational theory, knowledge and strategy needed to succeed.
You've been playing with some business or project ideas that prioritize people and the planet, but have no idea what to do about it.
Business planning. Networking. Mentorship. Funding. Marketing. Leadership.
It's a lot. Of course becoming an impact leader or entrepreneur can seem overwhelming right now.
In this 12-week certificate program, map your journey - from seed to start-up - as you work to become a leader in the social impact space. Along the way, get connected with a community of inspiring leaders, coaches, and DOERS from across the globe as you take on an experience that isn't just about learning but actually doing.

COMMUNITY
LEADERSHIP
HOLISTIC PROBLEM SOLVING
Every week as a cohort, we’ll dive into topics under these themes that help us understand sustainable change, growth and development, while putting in the work to bring your idea to life.
By the end of the 12 weeks, you'll have put together everything you need to launch your venture and be given 3 additional months of mentorships to help you go into launch mode.
Week 1
Personal & Group Transformation
For impact to take shape, we must first look at our role and responsibilities as a individual.
By navigating who YOU are and your WHY, you can begin to map out your Theory of Change.
Week 4
Community Development
& Contributions
From problem solving, we’ll jump into what it takes from community and organizational stakeholders to ensure sustainability of a solution.
This includes evaluating your own strengths and weaknesses so you can identify the right stakeholders to bring your solution forward.

Social & Global
Transformation
Continuing our theory-based learning, we’ll navigate how to tackle systemic change and dive into what it takes to make a social, global issue tangible and relevant to all through collective learning.
Week 5
Conscious Leadership
What makes a great leader? How can you step into your potential? By analyzing and evaluating various leadership styles and influential leaders, learn how to make decisions that lead to greater impact through both top down and bottom up approaches.
Week 3
Holistic Problem Solving
Problem solving is a practiced skill. When it comes to social impact, there are many layers to navigate to reach a holistic solution. Together, we’ll begin dissecting real world problems by peeling back the social, economic, environmental & political layers.
Week 6
Conflict Resolution & Negotiations
As a leader, sometimes you need to "fight" for what you want (especially when it comes to funding and contracts). Learn how to overcome challenges with difficult people and situations by using empathy.
Week 7

You can’t take care of the world if you don’t take care of yourself first. Learn how to identify and nurture your social-emotional wellness without sacrificing your purpose and impact.

Learn how to work backwards from a goal, and turn data into stories that drive strategic business decisions. Plus, you'll begin piecing together your one-year business plan based on activities accomplished throughout the program.
