How does the 2024 Sprout Ideas Fellowship work?
There are two components to the 2024 Fellowship: the Self-Paced Learning Component and the Grant Application.

How does the Self-Paced course work?
The Self-Paced six-week program is an entirely asynchronous online course. It is designed to equip you with the foundational skills, concepts, and tools necessary to grow your initiatives and build larger projects as a social innovator.
The program has 12 modules that will cover key concepts to develop your social innovation ideas and later execute successful projects. To complement your learning journey, you will receive a copy of “Flourish: A Workbook for Social Innovators”. This is a book written by Jennifer Corriero, #RisingYouth Alumni and Experts in different fields that will provide you with insightful experiences and practical examples to guide you in the implementation of your projects.
The course has a hands-on approach through the submission of short assignments per module. Each assignment is a valuable resource that will help you in your project planning and execution.
