HOSTS

Social Innovators Collective

The Social Innovators Collective is an international network of emerging founders, leaders and individuals who work in the social enterprise and nonprofit sectors. The Collective was born in 2010 when a handful of New York-based social entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders realized that they were dealing with strikingly similar challenges, and that by leveraging collective resources and insights they could overcome those challenges. http://www.socialinnovatorscollective.org.

Design for Social Innovation at SVA

Design for Social Innovation at the School of Visual Arts is the first MFA program for designers and graduates in other disciplines who want to harness the power of design to create positive change and impact. An inaugural cohort of 25 diverse, extraordinary students will become leaders in solving real world challenges, beginning in the fall of 2012. http://dsi.sva.edu.

COMMON

COMMON is a creative community for accelerating social change. Launched in January 2011 by Alex Bogusky, Ana Bogusky, Rob Schuham and John Bielenberg, COMMON supports, connects and celebrates those designing the next era of conscious capitalism and consumerism. http://www.common.is.
