With support of a S&S grant from Neighborhood Allies, New Sun Rising has launched the pilot phase of ignite MODE, which is a series of quarterly opportunities for budding social entrepreneurs and/or new non-profiteers to get hands-on, real time mentorship that can help shape their project and community. The goal of this program is to help project owners move from idea to impact by spending a day skill sharing and solution mapping with experts in fields that span social start-ups and nonprofits. For more information on New Sun Rising and their programs visit their website and make sure to follow them on twitter!

The first ignite MODE session was held in September at Repair the World in East Liberty. Check out some of the social entrepreneurs and their ideas:
