Pathways to Impact
The Canadian Centre for Rural
Creativity is hosting a new program
designed for social change agents
living and/or working in Huron and
Perth Counties. Pathways to Impact
(P2I) is a program offered by the
internationally -acclaimed, award-
winning School for Social
Entrepreneurs (SSE).
The program includes six in -class
sessions, four webinars, four mentor
sessions and four coaching sessions,
beginning May 5 in Blyth. The
participants will be inspired by
working social entrepreneurs and
intrapreneurs, and develop an
"entrepreneurial" mindset to see
opportunities where others see
obstacles. A Social Intrapreneurial
Fellowship certification will be
awarded to those successfully
completing the program, linking
these emerging leaders to other
disruptive thinkers globally.
"These life -skills are vital in
today's competitive workplace,"
says Peter Smith, Project Director of
Blyth 14/19. "The participants will
be impacted by some of the most
inspiring leaders in Huron/Perth as
they embrace the opportunity to take
their professional contributions to
the next level."
