Social Innovation Academy

The Social Innovation Academy (SIA) is a national training program for youth who want to solve pressing environmental, social, and cultural challenges through careers in social innovation or social finance. Through our Social Innovation Fellowship and Social Value Fund Associate Programs that run during the academic year, participants have access to comprehensive training & curriculum, personal & professional development and mentorship, and opportunities to apply these skills on the ground through experiential learning projects. Social Innovation Fellows and SVF Associates are first in line for summer internships with impact advisory firms, funds, and accelerators from coast to coast. We also have a mandate to support impact organizations all across Canada - charities, non-profits, social enterprises, co-operatives, and impact investing funds, or any organization that exists to further an environmental, social, or cultural mission - through consulting projects and investments.
