About Resolution Project

At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people and work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact. People do not need decades of experience before they can start making a difference in the world. Especially while young, they have the energy, idealism, and ambition to address complex challenges—today. But they need a community that invests and believes in their leadership. Resolution provides this support to young innovators around the world so they can break barriers and ignite meaningful change.

The Resolution Fellowship is the core of our work. To become a Resolution Fellow, young people first compete in our Social Venture Challenge (SVC), pitching ideas for social enterprises in their communities. Those who are selected become Fellows, receiving seed funding and lifelong support. Resolution is there, even if they evolve or pivot from their original ideas, with global resources, mentorship, expertise, and community, along with a growing network of local partners. These components come together to form a proven model that identifies promising young leaders, launches their first ventures, and sticks with them as they grow.

Since our beginning in 2008, Resolution Project has launched and supported the growth of over 700 Fellows, working across six continents and in over 80 countries. Altogether, our Fellows have impacted the lives of more than 4.6 million people around the globe. Through Resolution Project, young leaders receive unmatched guidance and wisdom from a team of partners, volunteers, and innovative peers around the globe. We remain committed—today and always— to all of our Fellows and to expanding our outreach to lower-resourced communities.

About Resolution Project and Enactus

Resolution Project has embarked on a strategic partnership with Enactus - another nonprofit organization working with undergraduate students with an interest in social entrepreneurship. Our programs are complementary and we aim to amplify our impact by working together. Enactus (formerly known as SIFE - Students in Free Enterprise) launched in 1975 to create opportunities for undergraduates in the United States to explore entrepreneurship. Enactus’ campus model supports student and faculty-led chapters at universities in identifying and launching impact projects that teach them valuable skills and prepare them for leadership roles. Expanding to over 30 countries through a network of independent affiliates, the Enactus Network supports over 40,000 students around the world. These students come together to present their projects at their national competitions, with the winning teams competing at the Enactus World Cup - an annual event drawing 2,000 business leaders, faculty, student competitors, and partners, hosted by a different Enactus affiliate each year.

Both Resolution Project and Enactus young leaders receive unmatched experience, guidance and wisdom from a team of partners, volunteers, and innovative peers around the globe.
