The problem
Our preliminary study on the social sector and community development in Canada and worldwide revealed that many people are aware of the need to play positive roles in community development and promoting regenerative socioeconomic development. Many youths and emerging leaders are beaming with passion and ideas for social change but lack the foundational knowledge to achieve their desires. They often lack the planning and management skills, analytical tools and guidance to create effective strategies and sustainable models for social change initiatives.
Existing solutions are often delivered through expensive coaching and consulting services, which seek already viable organizations and leaders with track records that most starters lack. Impact Toolbox is filling this gap by democratizing learning opportunities and empowering people without relevant experiences with the skills and tools needed to transform their social change ideas and passion into viable ventures that generate revenue and employment opportunities while addressing critical socioeconomic challenges in their communities. We strive to put as many ordinary citizens as possible at the forefront of regenerative and sustainable socioeconomic development.
