Lead YOUR #hararevolution
A 12-week, virtual training program for young leaders and changemakers
who are passionate about ethical business and development.
So, you wanna take your career down the Social Impact path…
But neither school nor college has prepared you with the foundational knowledge and insight needed to get started. You’re not even sure what you’re suppose to do first. Of course becoming an impactful leader or entrepreneur seems shaky right now!
You may feel uncertain about how to craft your resume, where to gain experience, and how to connect with the right people. You may even be sitting on an incredible social enterprise idea, but don’t know how to get the funding or support you need to launch.
In this 12-week certificate program, map your journey to becoming a leader in the social impact space with a community of inspiring leaders, coaches, and DOERS from across the globe (as well as peers from across India!).

Your Program Curriculum
Our Impact Leadership program is rooted in our five core themes of:
TRANSFORMATIVE
ACTION
MINDFULNESS
COMMUNITY
LEADERSHIP
HOLISTIC PROBLEM SOLVING
Every week as a cohort, we’ll dive into topics under these themes that help us create personal, group, social, and global change.
Week 1
Personal & Group Transformation
For impact to take shape, we must first look at our individual and community-based efforts, roles, and responsibilities.
By navigating who YOU are and the change you want to make, you can begin to create a strategy of how to actually make it all happen.
Week 4
Community Development
& Contributions
From problem solving, we’ll jump into what it takes from a 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.
Week 2
Social & Global
Transformation
Continuing on from our first week together, we’ll navigate how to tackle systemic change and dive into the interconnection and intersectionality of making a social, global issue tangible and relevant to every global citizen through collective learning.
Week 5
Conscious Leadership
Building a team isn’t just about finding amazing people with incredible skills. We’ll uncover what it takes to build an ecosystem where every team member plays off each other’s strengths and supports each other in their weaknesses, while identifying the advantages of a bottom up vs. a top down approach.
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. During our third week, we’ll begin dissecting a problems by diving into the layers present from a social, economic, environmental & political lens.
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). In our sixth week, we’ll dive into how to overcome challenges with difficult people and situations that may come up along your journey and how to approach and learn from them.
Week 7
Strategic Partners
and Collaboration
Not every situation and partnership is going to be a win-win.
Learn how to identify the right partnership deals and collaboration opportunities based on the goals and needs of your organization and your team.
Week 10
Seed to
Start-Up
While reflecting and absorbing what we’ve learned, we’ll begin plotting every piece of the start-up puzzle, from nurturing an original idea to how to realistically and strategically bring it to life with a launch plan.
(Hint: that takes into account everything you've learned throughout the program!).
Week 8
Funding, Fundraising
& Grant Writing
You need money to run your venture.
We’ll learn how to develop and execute successful fundraising campaigns, how to find funding, how to apply for funding, and how to identify when financial changes in your organization need to be made.
Week 11 & 12
Mapping Your Career and Entrepreneurial Journey
We’ll dive into how to connect a social innovation to the needs of a sustainable business, from navigating storytelling and marketing to creating a sales plan. You’ll then be supported in carving out your unique career and/or entrepreneurial path as you enter your 3-month mentorship period before receiving your certificate.
Week 9
Holistic Wellness
& Social Justice
You can’t take care of the world if you don’t take care of yourself first.
We'll learn how to identify mental health needs, strengthen social-emotional wellness without sacrificing your life, and learn to take action without hurting yourself in the process.
