Many people would like to make a difference in the world, but so few of us have actually been shown how to do it. It is not enough to hear inspiring stories of activist, social entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders or politicians - most of us just want to know where to begin to have an impact. For those who have already started down the path of changing the world, this workshop will provide details about how to complete the task and make as much of a difference as possible. Scott Beale has helped people around the world take their ideas, hopes and dreams and turn them into reality. If you want to learn tangible steps for addressing an issue that you care about, then don't miss this great opportunity to learn from an international expert. Don't wait to make a difference - get started now and learn how with Scott Beale's presentation on "How to Change the World."
Thirty-year-old Beale is the founder of Atlas Service Corps and an experienced social entrepreneur who has started three citizen sector organizations and helped thousands of people in his generation become agents for social change. He has worked in four continents, with citizen, government and business leaders from around the world, and through Atlas Corps has pioneered an innovative, sustainable and scalable way for revolutionizing international volunteerism.
For ten years, Beale was a recognized leader of the Millennial Generation as the author of "Millennial Manifesto: A Youth Activist Handbook" and the founder of Millennial Politics.com. He has published many articles and delivered over 300 speeches on his "10 Steps To Change the World". He has even appeared on CBS discussing the politics of his generation. After the 2004 Election, the Youth Vote Coalition named him on of "30 People Under 30 Changing Politics in America."
In addition to his political activism, Beale is an experienced social entrepreneur. As the Mid Atlantic Director of Youth Venture (a sister organization of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public), he helped over 1,000 young people start citizen sector organizations. While at Youth Venture, he helped expand the organization from approximately three to twenty-five, in large part due to a partnership with AmeriCorps VISTA and the Corporation for National Service. Scott also founded a small nonprofit organization, the 2100 Fund, that organizes large parties to raise money for charity.
