Social Starters - Expert Impact

Andrea Gamson,

Social Starters

Met with Tony Goodwin

_Social Starters are a social purpose business which creates the space and opportunities to nurture and ignite the social changer in you.

We do this through social enterprise volunteering; matching skilled professionals with talented social entrepreneurs in India, Sri Lanka, Brazil & the Philippines. And we support you through workshops, training and coaching across a number of programmes.

Volunteering
Our 6 Week Immersion Programme runs several times a year, and includes training, excursions and accommodation.

_TheAssignment is our flexible programme: a matching service for adventurous volunteers who want a specific assignment between roughly 4-12 weeks.

Shorter Breaks
The 18 Day Inspiration Programme is for professionals who want to make a change in their lives and need some support to develop their ideas. Our next programme is in Rio de Janeiro.

Career Coaching
Our Transformation Programme coaches skilled professionals through an important time in their lives – the transition from stuck employee to self employed! We do this virtually so you don’t need to leave the comfort of your own living room.

Anthony was a great person to chat to for an hour – he made me feel motivated to get stuck back into running my business, and he assured me that any doubts, worries or fears I had as we move into Year 3 were normal. I’m leaving our session excited to continue – thanks!
