Ashoka Fellows see a better future and then Build It

Ashoka's community of nearly 4,000 Ashoka Fellows spans 90+ countries includes 300 social entrepreneurs here in the United States - women and men introducing powerful new ideas and testing and adapting them until they become part of a new cultural norm. Ashoka Fellows hail from all walks of life, from communities in Long Island Sound to the heart of Silicon Valley and everywhere in between. As a group they help us see ahead through the lens of what's possible and together create ways for many more people - everyone - to step up for the good of all, as changemakers.

What Fellows say about Ashoka

“Ashoka is a messy organization for a messy world. It’s geniuses on all corners of the planet. That’s where I want to be.

I don’t want to be in a business plan kind of organization, where people think they have it all figured out. I want to be around raucous people who are trying – every single day –to shape a world that they want their kids and their family and their mommas to be a part of.

You’re an extension of that family. It’s a tribe – a pretty unique tribe, for people who don’t need a lot of hand-holding, and who have big ideas that are scary… and that are game-changing.”
