Selection of Ignite Partner

The chapter agrees to involve a partner that will align with at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals. The partnership will “help the helpers,” coaching leaders, managers & beneficiaries of nonprofits and NGOs to meet the challenges they face and move social impact forward.

Coaching Criteria

The Ignite Initiative requires that each coaching client receives 6 (Six) to 10 (Ten) coaching sessions for six (6) months.
