The Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurs is building a supportive global network of social entrepreneurs who are looking to the future after founding innovative and impactful organisations.
We’ll all face the challenges of succession planning, leadership, dealing with finances and looking after our wellbeing. Insight is our bank of wisdom for social entrepreneurs by social entrepreneurs - a website containing a wealth of experience as people share how they navigate social entrepreneurship.
What We Do:
We engage with the social entrepreneur community and beyond through webinars, workshops and more. We have face to face events at our partners conferences. We also plan to offer mentoring services soon.
We host a series of regular webinars with global leaders who talk about their personal experiences and provide advice and insights. These have proved very popular to date amongst members because of the insights they give and the debate which follows. We encourage as many people as possible to listen in. Each webinar lasts one hour.
We hold live gatherings / workshops during our partners’ conferences.
A special mentoring service will be offered to social entrepreneurs in the future. In the meantime, if you are interested then please contact katelynne@elderscouncil.net
Social entrepreneurs and the Ashoka Europe team gather in Aix-en-Provence (France) in September 2019 for the inaugural formation of the Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurs.
“Peer learning and mentorship are by far the most valuable resources to a high potential social entrepreneur. There is nothing like the story of a challenge overcome, or a failure that led to a key insight. It’s crucial to have a space for these conversations!”
Jim Fruchterman: Founder and previous longtime CEO of Benetech.
