Social Change Institute at Hollyhock: June 10 - 14, 2015

Social Change Institute (SCI) at Hollyhockcatalyzes dialogue across sectors, quickens the pace of professional development, promotes organizational effectiveness, and supports successful social change.
Imagine 80+ passionate professionals, nonprofits, social innovators, funders, mission entrepreneurs, organizational trainers, and aspiring social impact leaders coming together for five days and four nights on Cortes Island, BC.
