In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down schools, it was often teachers, parents, non-profits, and other local leaders who worked together to find solutions and make changes. They dealt with the crisis and the broken systems that came with it by using collective human capital in new ways. So, investing in social impact networks has become a must to spread human resources, create capital for members, and start a chain reaction of change. But we must use networks to extend and use human capital beyond traditional boundaries.
Putting money into social impact networks can help make a difference.
People don’t always realise how important the work that networks do for people and the community is. Consider, for example, a high school alumni network in a low-resource area. It can bring together former students who can serve as role models for current students.
In the same way, a group of teachers or parents who stay in touch after a transformative intervention can share ideas to help families and communities. The same is true for a network of researchers from different fields who have all attended the same funded programme. These networks can be grown so that they can work together to solve some of the world’s most complicated problems.
The success of networks isn’t just based on how well they work with people who are like us, but also on how well they work with people who are different from us. This is because it’s helpful to look at problems from different points of view. We might feel uncomfortable with this difference, but when we all work together to solve the same problem, it helps the network do a better job. Because of this, a lot of organisations and funders have put money into growing their networks.
For social impact networks to be effective at bringing together people from different backgrounds, they need to build trusting structures, processes, and relationships. This takes time and money.
A network based on shared values and experiences must give its members the power to speak up and question the dominant paradigm, which often comes out as a language (usually English).
Social impact networks have to be very aware of these ways of thinking. Through diversity, they can try to build bridges. For example, translation or rules for participation can help bring different ideas and ways of doing things to the surface.
This will always leave out the minority voices, and in the end, we will have enough voices from the majority. We need those from the minority.
