We value a holistic approach to growth and learning. You’ll receive individualized support while being part of a national community of like-minded peers and industry professionals.
Alongside a multi-disciplinary team, you’ll work on hands-on projects issued by Canadian social enterprises, non-profits, charities, and co-operatives.
Social Innovation Fellows and Social Value Fund Associates will be first in line for summer internships with impact investing funds, advisory firms, and acclerators.
"The Social Innovation Academy has been an extraordinary opportunity for me! As someone who has no experience in finance, I have not only learned so much about impact investment but also to leverage my humanities and social justice background to be an asset in the field. The Challenge sprints have also been a great way to apply our learning and it’s always rewarding to know that our work will be used on the ground.”
"SIA's holistic approach has not only provided me the training to grasp key social impact concepts, but it has also given me the opportunity to work with clients to create solutions for growing global concerns. Coming from a health-science background, I am grateful to be able to learn about business and impact evaluation, and also put that into application.”
"I came into SIA in the pursuit of new skills and learning experiences, as well as a platform to contribute to a socially oriented cause; however, SIA has gifted me with so much more. It is an organization where I am surrounded by mentors that truly care about the growth of the organization’s Fellows; there has been a considerable effort put into nurturing us into reflective and socially and emotionally competent individuals.”
