Once you are accepted into the Program, complete the mandatory onboarding.
Engage in self-paced learning, goal-setting, and reflection. Join (optional) live events including quarterly kickoffs and wrap-ups.
Once you are ready, connect with a social entrepreneur through the platform and begin your clearly defined project and/or mentoring/coaching relationship. Using MovingWorlds Experteering Guides to follow a planning process, you will then work on the project for 2-3 hours per week over a time period of your choice. Note: you can structure the project in a way that works for both you and the social enterprise.
Report back to our global network with a summary of your impact and learned lessons. Join others in celebrating the network’s accomplishments, as well as those of the social enterprises.
After, you can offer to keep volunteering with the organization, work on another project, or keep following the program learning and impact opportunities.

Cohorts are an opportunity to participate in the Acceleration Collective with a group of your peers, in a set time frame, with additional learning, support, and networking opportunities. As a registered member of the program, you will receive invitations to opt into upcoming cohorts if you would like to.

Thank you in advance for understanding that all employees, even those with prior pro bono experience, will be asked to complete the employee onboarding.
