How? Our Theory of Change

Ashoka is not setting out to teach every child changemaking skills. Instead Ashoka is committed to act as a catalyst focused on creating urgency and demand for changemaking skills in society.  

Much like what we did with the field of social entrepreneurship, we are seeking to drive this mindset shift in society by helping people see differently. We intend to work with co-creators (Ashoka Fellows and other leaders) to influence key actors including, parents, schools, governments, media, companies to see why changemaking skills are key for their children to succeed and contribute effectively in society.  It will open opportunities to change how we parent, what we teach our children and youth, what stories we write, how we hire and organize or report success.  

Success to us lies in tipping the narrative in society on what we believe are the key skills children need. Metrics include – do other key influencers now say changemaking skills are key?

Are more parents prioritizing changemaker skills for their children?

Are schools or government now using pedagogy and curriculum to instill changemaking skills in teachers / children?

Are companies looking to hire changemakers?

Are big media platforms writing about changemaking skills for children?

The Leadership Role:

Ashoka is looking for an exceptional changemaker to join its Global Leadership Team to lead this change in South Asia.

Are you an entrepreneur / intrapreneur who has a proven commitment to innovation and big change? Do you have a track record of seeing a new possibility and making it a reality?

Do you have creative ways of bringing about change?

Are you strategic in the way you drive change? Do you have strong conceptual thinking skills?

We are looking for leaders with a minimum of 15 years of work experience.
