Equipping Africa’s changemakers through a robust curriculum of practical insights relative to the African continent; Africa’s Foremost Online school for Social Innovators and Changemakers
Social Innovation School is a one stop, all access, immersive online education platform for African social innovators and changemakers.
To truly impact, you must create systems that are sustainable and capable of producing the results of change; take your burning desires to school for refining.
Joining in on each course are real-time social innovators across the African continent who also share practical insights, key learnings, and gaps in their respective impact areas to help other changemakers like you on your journey as you take on Africa’s most pressing challenges.
A lot is happening, yet a lot is not being told. A gap in knowledge exists, and if this is not being filled up, in 3 – 5 years from now we would have most of the social enterprises and impact-driven startups shutting down faster than they started and unable to deliver on the impact they identified with at inception.
A key goal for the Social Innovation School is to enlighten thousands of students on the importance of the work they do to the community and African continent, giving changemakers the resources, knowledge and access they need to get the job done; start, scale & sustain their big ideas for changing Africa.
The results and impact the social innovation space provides is pivotal to the rising of Africa to her relevance in the global space and in the last five years, we are honored to be instrumental in educating the innovators who would make it happen, using our stakeholders, experts and network of industry leaders.

All modules are delivered fully online, complete with the Mentor interviews, worksheets and other supporting resources for the student to engage with, and carry out action plans to get the best results.
Our organization is clearly one step closer in building an effective organizational design. The whole process just walked us through all the critical functional areas that require some honest analysis, so it is so much clearer now to chart the pathway from where we are to where we want to position ourselves.
Beyond just being a technical reference, the AMS changemakers Bootcamp was really insightful into some perspectives and philosophies that we would do well to adopt in functional areas from communication to HR management, if we want to scale up our movement.
I almost feel like a new me has emerged through the AMS experience. From building relationships with the guest mentors who are now people I can count on as my guiding points of light, to looking for ways to bring the AMS content in other languages to learners in Africa.
To refine the approach to media and strategic partnerships to even connect with other courses in the Ideation Hub ecosystem….the list is endless and this is only the beginning! We continue to discover the tips given by the mentors and experiment with them in our own local environment.

I have been phenomenally impacted! Wow! AMS course contents are direct answers to my prayers on GGMI in a very exotic way. I am forever grateful to God ( ever faithful and merciful), DDK ( you are powerfully great, such an intense light of greatness and excellence. I love you ma) and the entire Ideation Hub team ( oh my goodness! I desire team members like you in my organization. Your commitment, your skills, delivery, follow up, etc you are so great). I am so excited! Thank you!
I learnt
1. Gathering/ building my team members in batches and constituency members by intensive interactions via face to face meetings, online meetings/ interactions across social media platforms/ handles
2. Website design/development
3. Organizational effectiveness being built
4. Enhancing my business products for sustainability of GGMI. I have gotten two clear products already; the third is still being worked on.

The African Masterclass Series has greatly changed my mind set towards achieving impact using a business model. I learnt to be intentional about creating impactful change; the necessary skills used to create sustainability and to follow all guidelines in creating a sustainable organization.
Rahila Hashim (Nigeria)
Hillas_cut (Team lead/project manager)
The African MasterClass has been a power packed program which really changed a whole bunch of things in me, my club and my business as well. I have developed so much novel knowledge and skills to run both my club and my business.
I have identified that delegation matters and can reduce a lot of burden on an individual specifically in an organization. Can't forget the tones and series of advice on partnership. I have really jotted down and I'm going to search for partnerships and collaboration especially for my club.
Notwithstanding, availing myself to other big organizations that can work through my club to execute tasks. Having an annual report is something I started which I will be consistent about. I have unlearned and relearned so many things from this series of sessions.

Enrolling and actively participating in the AMS over the last four weeks has transformed my mindset about social works, re-educate me on my approaches to social works and the role of the Social Sector in the development of the society.
In addition, the knowledge and insights shared from each module by individual guest mentors have impacted my creative thinking process and system of work. I have no doubt our organization is on the journey to reach more and scale impacts. So far I learnt to:
1. Redesign our organizational structures.
2. Revisit and re-evaluate our impact making and monitoring process.
3. Redefine our financing and funding strategies.
4. Invest in impact reporting and storytelling.
Seun Ogunyemi (Nigeria)
Founder,Gene of Love Africa
The African MasterClass series has impacted me greatly, it has changed my orientation about social impact completely, what I had was passion but now I have been equipped to up my game. I learnt to share our impact story.
To take in people that will work with me based on vision and value alignment not with emotion. To approach move from been passionate to an organization structure (do registration, set up board members, have necessary legal papers etc)
Consider our beneficiary as a strong force in our programs and activities (we must carry them along and not assume what their needs are). I also learnt about funding!

It is true that Africa’s emerging prosperity cannot be achieved without the compelling contribution of the Social Sector across the continent. Yet, a lot of practitioners are greatly hindered and sometimes fail in their social ventures or corporate social investment efforts, because of a weak knowledge of how the human resource functions.
This course shows players and practitioners in the social development space how effective management of human resources plays a defining role in workplace productivity, project outcomes and the impact of sustainable development efforts. It delivers great insights on raising leaders within your organization, hiring the right fit for project, programs and initiatives; structuring internal processes and systems, training for strategic competencies, rallying a sold-out team of volunteers, measuring and monitoring performance; as well as how to connect brainpower to bottom line.
