Educational Initiative and Programs

About Mission Forward

Mission Forward® is the signature education program of Mission Partners. The initiative launched in 2014 as a speaker series of Mission Partners’ founder Carrie Fox, designed to drive deeper conversations among innovative thinkers, makers, and doers in social change. Building upon the speaker series, Mission Forward has expanded to include educational resources, a podcast, community conversations, workshops, and tools designed to help social sector leaders build more equitable communities.

Watch Our Past Community Conversations

While the global pandemic of 2020 interrupted our plans to host in-person mutuality meals and conversations, it didn’t stop the Mission Partners team from bringing our community together, even while we were physically apart.

These conversations were intended to be informal, a time for us to find new ways to stay connected to one another, despite remote working environments. They were an opportunity to exchange tips, resources, and strategies with other social impact professionals, staying focused on what we could control, during the uncontrollable moments of COVID-19. Have a listen to any of our past community conversations.
