"An amazingly rewarding experience"
Coming from a professional background outside of the NFP sector, the Fellowship exceeded my expectations...being a part of a team to deliver a research project for a NFP was deeply gratifying, particularly knowing firsthand how difficult it can be for these organisations to find resources to work on improving and driving positive organisational and delivery changes. What an amazingly rewarding experience which I highly recommend.

"A great refresher, alongside new insight into the social entrepreneur space"
As an executive working in the NFP space for 20 years, the Social Impact Fellowship was a great refresher, alongside new insight into the social entrepreneur space. I made connections both locally and across the country that I know will bring new opportunities. The program is practical and manageable alongside my busy executive role and has some great tools that I continue to use!

"Organically engaging and professionally set up"
The Fellowship was a wholesome growth experience, both professionally and personally. A number of eye-opening sessions, challenging my previous approaches or ensuring me in the direction I follow. All in all, an excellent opportunity to fully immerse in the subject, organically engaging and professionally set up.

"Practical skills and tools I can take and apply to my work"
Though I have worked in the NFP space for many years, social impact and measuring social impact is very new to me. The impact measurement course gave me a great basis of understanding, as well as practical skills and tools I can take and apply to my work.
