Youth Leader, Southeast Asiahttps://hire.lever.co/settings

Ashoka is the world’s largest community of leading social entrepreneurs and pioneered the field of social entrepreneurship more than 40 years ago. We find, select, and support a robust network of more than 4,000 Ashoka Fellows in 90 countries who have successfully implemented systems-changing solutions to human and environmental problems globally. By learning from and collaborating with our Fellows and other social entrepreneurs, Ashoka identifies patterns and key levers to help society gain a new framework for living in the world as a changemaker. Ashoka’s work therefore started with the Fellows, building and spreading the construct of social entrepreneurship, which has led to our current work – the ‘Everyone a Changemaker’ movement.

“Everyone a Changemaker” stems from our belief that everyone is a “giver”, and that everyone must recognize both their potential and responsibility to make positive change in an everchanging world. Central to this movement is breaking down silos and replacing them with new networks (and new networks of networks) that together fundamentally change how people of all ages identify and act as changemakers.

The Opportunity

Ashoka is seeking an individual with a track record of entrepreneurialism, innovation and changemaking to lead the “Everyone a Changemaker” movement in the region. As a Youth Leader, they will create partnerships with leading media outlets, publishers, unions, educational institutions, and corporate entities to activate networks that together create a world where everyone – children, young people, and adults of all ages - masters what Ashoka has identified as core changemaking skills: empathy, initiative to act for impact (i.e., changemaking), teamwork, and leadership.
