Stories of Change is Ashoka’s new electronic book series. Through these publications we will share the stories of the changemakers in the Ashoka community: Fellows, Youth Venturers, staff and partners. People who are producing system change solutions for social problems, inspiring innovation and creating an Everyone A Changemaker™ world. We hope you enjoy and share these stories. But most importantly, we hope these stories will inspire you to continue creating change in your community.
Book 1: Fellows & Their Journeys - can be read here.
Book 2: Youth Making a Difference - can be read here.
Book 3: 20/20 Vision - Predictions for the Decade - can be read here.
Also check out their recently-released 2010 Impact Study. It's a study of how Ashoka Fellows are impacting society. 172 Fellows from 32 countries participated in the study, which measured 5 types of systemic change ranging from market dynamics, to public policy.
With the help of a robust global nominator network, consisting of partner organizations, businesses, and community leaders Ashoka Fellows are elected and provided with financial support to be able to pursue his or her vision full-time. Candidates must present a new idea that has the potential to transform a whole field, rather than an isolated charitable project.
