Join us for the culmination of the 2023 Ideas to Serve program. Register for the event here. A Poster Showcase with refreshments and pops will follow the presentations.
A Poster Showcase will follow the presentations, where teams will display the Stakeholder Maps they prepared on issues ranging from developing and implementing equitable curriculum in K-12 to providing young Black men with mentors who look like them to a tech-enabled training platform that reskills youth through the use of VR.
I2S takes a comprehensive approach to social innovation, encouraging students to be compassionate listeners; identify and build on the assets of the community; research the solution landscape to learn from both what works and what has failed; take a systems approach to identify the root cause versus the symptoms of the issue.
Students who aspire to work closely with and learn from a community partner/civic entrepreneur, those who want to affect change in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), and those who are wondering how they can make a real, lasting, and appropriate difference in other people’s lives are ideal candidates for I2S.
In the 2023 season, student teams learned from and worked with our Atlanta area community partners and civic entrepreneurs. A series of hands-on workshops and discussions, complemented by conversations with front-line experts, equipped participants with broadly relevant problem-discovery tools and skills to apply in any field and career.
