Mountain View, California Ashoka is the global association of the world's leading social entrepreneurs -- men and women with system changing solutions for the world's most urgent social problems. Since 1981, Ashoka has elected over 1,800 leading social entrepreneurs as Ashoka Fellows, providing them with living stipends, professional support, and access to a global network of peers in more than 60 countries.
Ashoka Fellows inspire others to adopt and spread their innovations, demonstrating to all citizens that they too have the potential to be powerful changemakers and make a positive difference in their communities.
