Be inspired. Be connected. Be activated.
Our 2024 Social Innovator Showcase has reached capacity for in-person attendance. We encourage interested individuals to join us via livestream at 7pm ET on April 25th!
On April 25, the Social Innovator Showcase will bring together individuals and organizations that share the Social Innovation and Change Initiative’s (SICI) commitment to advancing innovative efforts that address pressing social problems. Throughout the evening, you will have the opportunity to hear short presentations from student social innovators – Cheng Fellows – and connect with a community of social change leaders, students, and Harvard University colleagues.
We invite you to learn from our guests, share your experiences, and support the next generation of social innovation leaders advancing efforts that span across sectors, focus-areas, and geographies. Our hope is that your connection and engagement will support the continued acceleration of the Cheng Fellows and the movement for social changemaking.
