Social Impact Award (SIA) empowers youth to transform society through impact-driven entrepreneurial journeys in our international community. We support their development into active citizens and social entrepreneurs that build solutions to society’s toughest challenges.
Our approach focuses on 4 key outcomes.
- We offer early-stage entrepreneurial programs and awards that give up-and-coming social innovators the tools to turn their ideas into transformational social ventures.
- Our unique approach to these support offerings puts youth in the driver’s seat and equips them with the necessary skills to become active citizens in the 21st century.
- For those not ready to embark on their journey just yet, we tell stories and run immersive events that activate them to start their own careers with impact.
- Finally, we foster an international community through accessible and supportive spaces that allow our members to connect and grow authentically.
