With the Crew. Explorers are people who have significantly contributed to our understanding of the global development space. We work directly with them to tell stories, develop engineering solutions, and contribute greater understanding, and compassion to the world stage.
Our explorers are trailblazers who work every day to bring voices in underserved communities to the surface of society. They are scrappy, and tenacious, and committed to holding development projects to a higher, more human-centered standard. They help spread the essential concepts of co-creation, user-centered, and user generated design. And serve as a direct connection between our organization, future partnerships, and radical storytellers.
We seek to embrace the upcoming, and showcase the unknown.
this is our global explorers initiative. and we built it for you.

development, exploration, inspiration.
And we are not afraid,
to make some noise.
Send us your ideas to build a better world.
Our organization believes, at the most fundamental level, that anyone can make a difference, and a positive impact. Therefor we extend an invitation to all those who wish to make our world more equitable, and sustainable. Reach out with your ideas, and we will reach back.
We believe in open-ness and honesty, so the truth is we don't have an application for our explorers program because it isn't established enough to warrant one. Instead, during this major growth phase of our company we invite you to do the following to become an explorer.
-
join our platform, read about the stories of the people we work with.
-
contribute to our platform, tell us your story, and stories of others that need to be shared with the world.
-
once you have an idea (or if you already have an idea) reach out. our explorers help us grow our platform, they implement projects in underserved communities, they carry out research, they collect data, and they help us tell amazing stories. so, if you want to make a film, connect us a nonprofit you're working for, run a photography competition in Ghana, teach a class on co-creation in India, or create a dataset on the most flood-prone communities in Colombia, tell us about it. put together a proposal, share it with us — please.
As an explorer, we provide you with connections, resources, access to data and possible sources of funding. We provide a platform to showcase your work and we connect you with resources to make a difference in your own community. Help us help you in building a better world.
