Ashoka, Global Youth Years Leader
Ashoka is looking for an exceptional changemaker to join its Global Leadership Team to lead this change on a global scale. Over the last 35 years, Ashoka Innovators for the Public not only coined the term social entrepreneur- but also pioneered the field of social entrepreneurship globally. We searched and helped 3,000 men and women launch their system- changing ideas to solve problems. We also helped the world SEE why social entrepreneurship was a more powerful way to drive change. Investors invested in them, journalists wrote about them, universities taught courses and incubators and accelerators supported them. In some countries governments even created policies to support social entrepreneurs.
However, we recognize this is not enough. The rate of change is accelerating and our problems are growing faster than our solutions. In such an environment it is not enough for a few to lead and others to follow. Everyone must be a changemaker. Changemaking skills, i.e. empathy, teamwork, creative problem-solving, and leadership become essential to equip each of us to respond to changes around us.
