Ashoka is a global network organization that aims to create a world where everyone is a changemaker. Founded on the principle that the world needs fundamental innovation in how society helps children grow up, Ashoka identifies and supports leading social entrepreneurs, learns from their innovations, and mobilizes a global community to drive positive change. Ashoka focuses on three strategic priorities: Social Entrepreneurship, Empathy and Young Changemaking, and Organizing for Changemaking. The organization selects world-class social entrepreneurs who are leading the way to an "everyone-a-changemaker" world, transforms how young people grow up to thrive in today's rapidly changing world, and organizes fluid, open teams to break through silos and tear down walls. With programs in over 90 countries, Ashoka builds and amplifies a global movement by partnering with schools, universities, corporations, and other influencers. The organization has a significant impact, with 82% of Ashoka social entrepreneurs having their innovations replicated in other geographies and 74% of Fellows managing to change legislation or influence public policies. Ashoka's collaborative network supports and amplifies change by bringing together changemakers, making it a powerful force for creating a better world.
