Ashoka is the leading organization that promotes, supports and invests on social entrepreneurs.

As a global initiative by Ashoka, Youth Venture was launched with the vision that everyone in society can be a changemaker who could take initiative and address social needs. We believe that it is critical that people learn early on in life that they can lead social change so that they can eventually continue to take initiatives and lead throughout their lives.

Youth Venture helps build teams of young people who can and will address key societal problems in their community. We provide training, coaching, and seed funding to Youth Venture teams in order to help them design, launch and run their own social ventures, catalyzing a movement of youth-led social change.


Ashoka: Innovators for the Public


Ashoka is the leading global organization of social entrepreneurs in the world with the vision of making everyone a changemaker. Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative minds who devise creative solutions to tackle the most pressing problems of society and at the same time have the initiative to implement them to bring about a wide-scale change. They possess the vision, creativity, determination, and pragmatism of a business entrepreneur which they use to revolutionize the society. Ashoka provides resources to social entrepreneurs in the form of financial support, professional assistance and connections to a global community of like-minded individuals. Ashoka has helped more than 2000 entrepreneurs in 60 countries around the globe since it was started in 1981 by Bill Drayton. The Philippine office was established in July 2006 and is currently on its process of selecting the first batch of Filipino Ashoka fellows.
