Launching the most diverse and innovative generation of social sector leaders in American history
At Second Day, we are dedicated to catalyzing the potential of emerging leaders in the social impact sector.
Founded on the belief that a better, more equitable world is possible, we serve as a bridge for individuals passionate about driving change. Our approach is centered on providing innovative programs, resources, and opportunities that empower these future leaders with the tools, knowledge, and network they need to thrive.
Our mission is rooted in inclusivity, diversity, and the pursuit of excellence. We understand that the challenges facing our world are complex, but we also believe in the power of collective action and the indomitable spirit of those committed to making a difference. By equipping our Impact Fellows with critical skills, mentorship opportunities, and a supportive community, we aim to foster a generation of leaders who are not only prepared to navigate the social impact sector but also redefine it.
