Program areas at Ashoka
Organizing for changemaking:we see an emerging pattern in Ashoka's network where entrepreneurs are building a dynamic kind of team for this new economy. When individuals and organizations cross old boundaries and align toward a shared goal, they form a "team of teams," unlocking massive amounts of social - and often business - value.
Empathy and young changemaking:together with our partners, we are at the forefront of a movement to redefine success in growing up by inspiring every child to master empathy and every young person to become a changemaker.
Leading social entrepreneurship:ashoka has pioneered the field of social entrepreneurship, identifying and supporting the world's leading social entrepreneurs since 1980. Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society's most pressing social, cultural, and environmental challenges. Social entrepreneurs are ambitious and persistent - tackling major issues and offering new ideas for systems-level change. They model changemaking behavior and catalyze organizations and movements where everyone can be changemaker.
