The Social Change Institute (SCI) belongs to Hollyhock’s Leadership Institute, home to a conference series which has helped establish British Columbia as a hub of the emerging social economy – catalyzing new relationships, quickening the spread of innovation, and building community for leaders of social change and sustainability. Many leaders of change experience isolation, overwork, and lack of time to learn or collaborate. Hollyhock’s Social Change Institute is an antidote to this problem. This conference is leading innovation in social change and is recognized by non-profit and activist leaders on an international scale. It has an unmatched reputation and provides high level learning, networking opportunities, and transformational impacts. SCI provides a unique networking function to a vital community of social change practitioners, introducing them to ideas and people outside of their regular networks, and quickening the pace of innovation and impact.
