Accelerating Innovation in Education: The Gratitude Network

The Gratitude Network, a nonprofit based in Pleasanton, California, has a unique and interesting approach to strengthening education for children globally. The organization accelerates the growth of high-impact social enterprises, both for-profit and nonprofit, working to improve the lives of children and youth around the world, primarily through novel, educational approaches. Through a 12-month leadership development Fellowship for children- and youth-focused social entrepreneurs, The Gratitude Network seeks to expand the leadership capacity of the organization's executive team. The ultimate goal of Gratitude's Fellowship is to help the organization scale and therefore impact and educate increasing numbers of children and youth. To date, Gratitude has worked with more than 100 organizations in over 40 countries, collectively impacting approximately 30 million children.
