Impact Investing Course Animator

CrowdDoing.world is building an impact investing course for social entrepreneurs. We have content experts involved and have already recorded hours of it. We need animators to help us storytell this information in a way that makes it accessible.

Volunteers should have comfort collaborating in an inter-disciplinary capacity on animation.

Social enterprise case study evaluation

The only way CrowdDoing.world can realize its impact potential is through virtual volunteers, service learners (http://blog.reframeit.com/service-learning-and-skilled-volunteering/), and micro-leaders ( https://real-leaders.com/leveraging-micro-leadership-to-make-aspirational-goals-achievable/ ) coming together.

See this brief video about Micro-leadership at CrowdDoing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhdB2YJ8Ocs&app=desktop ). Micro-leadership means that each person adopts a dimension of responsibility for a collective problem in our society through collaborating on that area creatively individually and together through social innovation.
