Abstract

In today’s world, change is the new norm. But young people are not being equipped with the tools to thrive in a society of disruption and innovation. Our education system and much of our incentive structures for raising children are built around the world of the past: hierarchy, rules, and repetition. This issue of Social Innovations Journal provides a different lens for growing up today. Drawn from Ashoka’s network of leading social entrepreneurs, business entrepreneurs, and youth changemakers, the stories featured in this edition highlight what it looks like when young people know they are powerful by creating and leading something for the good of all, and why we should make leading young the new norm for growing up.
