Visionary Goal & Long-Term Strategy

IISC’s goal is to have a profound and far-reaching impact on social change by radically influencing how change efforts are initiated, designed, facilitated, and experienced. Social change efforts will be strategic and effective, skillfully guided by values of inclusion, equality, respect, fairness, justice, and non-violence. As a result of working with the Interaction Institute for Social Change, people in organizations, schools and communities will build networks, collaborate, speak out, act on their commitments, and achieve results. They will deepen their connections to one another to realize greater social justice and a restored, healthy environment. They will share a language of hope and they will bring out the greatness of each for the benefit of all.

After a thorough analysis of the social sector and our current situation within it, we were faced with a strategic choice – how best to build on our accomplishments and trajectory of the past twelve years in order to achieve our visionary goal. Our focus has been on the leadership development of individual change agents, building the collaborative capacity of non-profit organizations and school systems, and designing and facilitating coalitions.

We have now determined that we will exponentially increase our impact on social change by leveraging this experience, our reputation, and our unique attributes and by focusing on two key areas: building networks for social change and building individual and organizational capacity for social change.
