United States
Ashoka launched its U.S. program in 2000 with the election of its first four U.S. Fellows. Since then, the Fellowship has grown to include 130 Fellows working in cities and towns across the nation. Entering the United States qualifies Ashoka as the only truly global organization of leading social entrepreneurs.
Despite its relative prosperity in comparison to other nations, the United States has pressing social problems that present an extraordinary opportunity for social entrepreneurs to find and execute innovative solutions in education, the environment, economic development, health, human rights, and other areas of human concern.
