Episode 24

Shannon Farley focuses on the intersection of tech for good, women’s rights, and human rights. She's the co-founder and Executive Director of Fast Forward, the accelerator for tech nonprofits.

Prior to Fast Forward, Shannon was the founding Executive Director of Spark, the world's largest network of Millennial philanthropists. She also helped start The W. Haywood Burns Institute, an award-winning juvenile justice reform organization.

In Episode 24 of Create Community, Shannon chats with Marsha about how she’s creating community among entrepreneurs building social impact tech startups, how people can apply their skills to social movements, and how we can leverage community in the social sector.

“Community is the how. An idea that exists just in your head or in your sphere can’t live and breathe. Community is the how you deploy.”
