Out of roughly 1,000 global applicants, two Leland neighbors and nonprofit leaders were selected to a cohort of eight into the London School of Economics’ (LSE) 100x Impact Accelerator Fellowship spring program.
Leland resident Bartlomiej Skorupa, co-founder and chief operating officer at Mobile Pathways, runs a U.S. based nonprofit that helps underserved immigrants gain access to reliable legal information about their numerous pathways to immigration. Skorupa, along with Edith Elliott, co-CEO and co-founder of Noora Health, a global nonprofit that improves health outcomes and strengthens health systems by equipping patients and their loved ones with essential caregiving skills, will be joining six other non-profits for the 12 week-long 100x accelerator program officially beginning in February.
The accelerator program’s goal is “to curate expertise, mentoring, and capital for the world’s most promising social ventures that enable impactdriven organizations to think bigger and achieve more.” In the three month-long program and through a mix of session formats, organization leaders will learn ways of how to accelerate their path to impact with a focus on scaling impact. The program looks for “scale-up impact organizations” that have a proven model so it can help deliver their next big leap of growth.
