New Sector's mission is to accelerate social change by strengthening organizations and developing leaders.
We Cultivate Cross-Sector Solutions to Social Problems.
What We Do
Through the Design Thinking Process, We Transform Next Generation LeadersOur Approach
New Sector Alliance empowers people and the organizations that serve them to access the mindsets, skills, and abilities they need to thrive in the future of work. In cross-sector partnerships with philanthropic funders, nonprofits, and private corporations, our three programs train Fellows in future-focused practices such as design-thinking, innovation, growth mindset, and social impact.
Our approach is founded in empirical academic research and theories, drawing on disciplines spanning public policy, organizational behavior, economics, psychology, and education.
Our Programs
New Sector runs three Fellowship programs that bring together cohorts of highly-motivated, mission-driven professionals committed to making a difference.
- Summer Fellowship
- Residency in Social Enterprise Fellowship
- Designing Your Success Fellowship
Fellows deliver high-impact projects, improve organizational operations, or design new service model programming to build the key mindsets and skills needed to succeed.
