Our Team
The Institute for Social Innovation is truly “a team of teams.”
As social entrepreneur and Ashoka founder Bill Drayton said, “A team is not a team unless everyone is an initiatory player, and in this world you cannot afford to have anyone on your team who is not a changemaker.” We are committed to responding to the changing needs of our learners and society by co-creating with all our stakeholders.
