KREWE School
Program Overview
KREWE School is a cohort-based program that empowers teams to deepen their social and environmental impact. Participating teams engage in peer-based learning, redesign their theories of change, explore systemic issues, and leverage human-centered design to amplify their impact over an extended period of time. Our next application will open in 2025; if you’re interested in learning more, tell us here.
KREWE School Pillars
Program Pillars
The Pillars of KREWE School are the foundational components of the curriculum. We start the program with curiosity using a judgement free inquiry based approach to explore key questions. Program participants (aka KREWES) then build capacity to increase social impact through knowledge and application of concepts covered in each pillar. By the end of the program, many KREWES will have the answers to some of their most critical questions, creating space for innovation and sustainable change.
Why KREWE School?
Through a series of discussions, the Taylor Center team developed a shared belief that building team capacity is the future of learning, especially for organizations working toward sustained social impact in an ever-changing society full of uncertainty and opportunity. Shifting system dynamics such as cocreation, adaptive leadership and coalition-building are best accomplished by groups, not just individuals.
At the Taylor Center, we have been working on our own skillsets in design thinking, systems thinking, equity, diversity and inclusion, and more. We have found these approaches empowering for ourselves and for partners who want to build collective capabilities and capacity for the long-term work of creating social change.
