Since 2005, StartingBloc has been training the next generation of leaders on how to do well and do good.

Through the StartingBloc Fellowship, we select the brightest young leaders and provide them with access to the resources they need to address the most pressing global challenges of our time. The most critical resource that our Fellows gain access to is a tight-knit community of social innovators based across the country and the world.

The StartingBloc Fellowship begins with the Institute for Social Innovation. This transformative experience includes a survey of social innovation, an innovative case-study competition and sessions with industry leaders.

Upon completing the Institute, new Fellows join our global network of 1,500 StartingBloc Fellows from 54 countries and 221 universities. Over the years, StartingBloc Fellows have launched their own organizations and continue to create social impact in various sectors across the world.

So, what is our approach? Take a look at the video below to learn about our theory for change.
