How did participating in the Fellowship contribute to your social innovation journey? Fellows highlighted the following themes: Connected with Other Young Changemakers "One of the most impactful aspects of the Fellowship was seeing the range of projects other fellows were working on. Learning from their ideas, approaches, and challenges expanded my understanding of what is possible and showed me different ways social impact can be created and scaled." Increased Confidence as Social Innovator "Working on this project improved my confidence to design and implement a community program from start to finish. I was able to turn the ideas from my research into an evidence-based initiative that participants were excited about."

This experience has laid a strong foundation for me to continue creating innovative, socially impactful projects in the future. - Rachel Davis - 2025 Sprout Fellow - Souheyla Mohamed Bouh
