Who is the MovingWorlds Institute for?

Note: As of 2023, the MovingWorlds Institute is on pause as we redesign it for a post-COVID era — making it more accessible, scalable, and connected to the broader impact ecosystem via our TRANSFORM Support Hub. No new cohorts will launch in 2023.

The MovingWorlds Institute is open to professionals from every industry, sector and region of the world. We ask that you have at least 3 years of professional experience, though most members are 5-15 years into their careers. The most important factor is that you are committed to finding personal purpose and creating greater social impact in your career.

Past MovingWorlds Institute Global Fellows have typically been mid-career professionals or more senior high-achieving leaders in their field. Their ages have ranged from 26-65.

Broadly speaking, our participants typically fall into one or more of the following categories:

• Career Changers: Professionals from the private, public, or even nonprofit sector who want to make a career change based on their unique combination of strengths, purpose, and transferable skills.
• Social Intrapreneurs: Professionals who are happy with their current company, and want to learn how to incorporate more social impact into their existing role or even pilot a CSR/sustainability initiative to make their company more sustainable from the inside out.
• Aspiring Social Entrepreneurs: Professionals who eventually want to start their own social impact organization, but before they do, want to learn the language and landscape of the social impact space and gain experience working with an already established social enterprise.

You do not need prior experience of working in the social impact space (e.g. for a social enterprise or a non-profit) to participate in the program.
