Description

Position at Ashoka

Everyone A Changemaker 

Empathy Movement Leader, Indonesia/ SE Asia 

Ashoka is on an audacious mission – to create a world where everyone is a changemaker i.e. a 

world where everyone has the agency and skills to make a posiꢀve change in their families, 

communiꢀes, and at work. Empathy skills (which can be learned and improved) are foundaꢀonal 

to building an Everyone A Changemaker movement. 

Historic Moment 

All of us are facing a historic moment. For generaꢀons, society has followed a siloed, hierarchical 

approach to solving challenges and has been defined by repeꢀꢀve efficiency (think assembly line). 

But this approach is falling short when it comes to the number and complexity of the shared 

problems we now face. So a new game is taking shape – one where change is the norm, and 

where the most open, fluid systems and teams thrive. In this game the rules are different (in fact 

they are sꢀll being created!) but one is paramount: everyone can and must be able to play, and to 

drive posiꢀve change. This is the ‘Everyone A Changemaker’ vision that Ashoka is working toward 

and it is our best hope for building a world where problems no longer outrun soluꢀons. 

Ashoka is unleashing demand for empathy as a 21st century skill. Our Global Empathy Iniꢀaꢀve 

and our Everyone A Changemaker collaboraꢀons have mobilized a powerful group of social 

entrepreneurs (Ashoka Fellows), schools (Ashoka Changemaker Schools), media thought leaders, 

and other partners to drive a fundamental shiꢁ in children’s educaꢀon and youth years. 

We are looking for an extraordinary entrepreneur to lead the Empathy work for Indonesia and 

eventually for Southeast Asia. 

Responsibilities: 


Lead, grow, and collaborate with partners and Ashoka’s teams to co-create the Everyone A 

Changemaker Movement in Indonesia as part of a collaboraꢀve global movement.

training insꢀtuꢀons, teachers’ organizaꢀons, government agencies, media influencers, 

parents networks, youth organizaꢀons, and other strategic partners. 

Advance strategies with partners which lead to powerful examples and measurable 


increases in changemaking skills throughout Indonesian society --- especially but not only 

among youth, parents, and educators. 

Design and lead systems to unleash compelling insights from Ashoka Fellow innovaꢀons 


(Our Global Empathy Iniꢀaꢀve mobilizes a powerful group of players to make empathy a 

priority skill for all children; “Every child must master empathy and changemaking” is
