Everyone
a Changemaker: Social Entrepreneurship's Ultimate Goal
Bill
Drayton, Founder and CEO of Ashoka,
recently published an article in the inaugural edition of MIT's Innovations
Magazine that covers the historical context for social entrepreneurship
and the growth of the citizen sector, highlighting in particular the
role of a young people’s movement as a key strategy for solving the
world’s intractable problems. According to Drayton, "Society cannot
significantly increase the proportion of adults who are, and know they
are, changemakers and have mastered the necessary and complex underlying
social skills until it changes the way all young people live."
To capitalize on the rapid growth and transformation of the citizen
sector, and move the world towards an "everyone a changemaker"
world, Drayton argues that we must "end the infantilization of
young people" and "build the wisest possible financial and
other institutions" to support the new citizen sector.
