Springboard Innovation

We are a "social profit" organization with 501(c)(3) status dedicated to improving lives through education and empowerment. Our mission is to increase the number of people leading and supporting grassroots change. We enable people to solve local challenges with sustainable, innovative solutions, and we provide pathways for others to support those innovations. We focus on the underserved and poor in diverse communities worldwide, developing effective, local change-makers. The world needs genuine innovators—those who dedicate themselves to an ideal, draw from many domains, and reframe challenges as opportunities. Innovators not only move mountains but often change the entire landscape. That landscape defines the potential available to the rest of the community. When focused on important problems innovations can result in enormous social good. We plan to increase the potential for innovative solutions in areas where good ideas are needed most. We believe that anyone who wants to change the world should be helped to be successful. We have designed a flexible and modular curriculum resource intended to serve both young and adult students worldwide, in both formal and informal learning environments. We customize each one so they are attuned to the local context and needs. Our programs are designed to be implemented in schools and through community organizations.
