Nonprofit News: “State Offices of Social Innovation?”
June 3rd, 2009 - Posted by OneStar Foundation
Last Friday, Andrew Wolk of Root Cause wrote a blog post that discussed his recent Boston Business Journal article—an article in which he argued for the creation of a state social innovation office in Massachusetts. In his blog, he took his argument further, asking if a social innovation office that links federal and state activities can be created in every U.S. state.
OneStar: Texas Center for Social Impact was listed in his blog post as one example of a state social innovation office that, in his words, is organized “similar to the way state-based Service Commissions have been set up,” including being “connected to AmeriCorps and the CNCS at the federal-level.”
We want to thank Andrew for recognizing OneStar and for considering us to be an organizational model for social innovation offices!
Do you think that states should utilize social innovation offices? Do you think they are ready to implement such an office? Share your thoughts in the comments section of Andrew’s blog post, or in our comments section below.
