Social Innovation Strategy for Nonprofits

Transform your ideas into impactful social innovations. Whether you work in a nonprofit, a social enterprise, or are launching your own initiative, you will learn how to turn vision into action using practical frameworks and tools. Guided by Professor Peter Frumkin, the course draws on his and Suzi Sosa’s graphic novel on social innovation, introducing 20 actionable tools across the four key phases of the innovation journey: define, design, pilot, and scale. You will apply these tools directly to a project of your choice, developing your ability to identify needs, create prototypes, test ideas, and plan for sustainable growth. By the end of the course, you will have a clear, evidence-based roadmap to bring your social innovation to life and the confidence to lead meaningful change in your community or organization
