The Leadership We Want to Foster

In 2023, we launched the Policy Leadership Initiative to advance equitable digital policy by elevating underrepresented voices in policy-making arenas. We aimed to do this by supporting, educating, and empowering diverse leadership by offering opportunities to develop essential policy skills and strategies.

As a fresh EU mandate manifests, and elections continue to take place around the world, fostering policy leadership has never felt more important.

Craigslist Foundation and Aspiration host focus group on knowledge sharing in neighborhoods and local communities

Aspiration was delighted to design and facilitate a focus group for Craigslist Foundation's latest project, code-named What Works, in San Francisco at the end of January. The goal of the project is to assess the degree to which stories and ideas about successful community change can help others achieve success in their own communities. And to the extent that they do, to then investigate how to better get that information distributed where it needs to go.
