Spud’s Thoughts:

Ashoka is easily one of my favorite groups doing changemaking work. They’re considered one of the leaders when it comes to developing meaningful programs and fellowship opportunities. Recently they’ve been focused a lot more on supporting emerging leaders, and looking for innovation cropping up outside of the major hubs (like NYC, SF, or DC). I’m a big believer that we need to be expanding our scope when looking for social entrepreneurs so it’s exciting to see them offering this opportunity.
