About Us

Groundswell is a non-profit school for social entrepreneurs; providing alternative education to support the creation of meaningful livelihoods and social ventures.

The program offers community-based training and mentorship that focus on the individual (you!), giving you the skills, community, and support you need to create your own values-based livelihood.

Create purpose-filled work for yourself and surround yourself with a diverse community of values-centred, heart-led entrepreneurs!

Among the projects and social ventures that came out of Groundswell's social venture program:

*Another Space (anotherspace.ca) - An innovative arts-based wellness studio in East Vancouver; a dedicated space for artists, wellness practitioners and community members to express their creativity through movement, arts, crafts and community connection.

*Vancouver Fix-it Collective (vanfixit.tumblr.com) - A place where we fix vs throw away, where we build community and empower each other.
*The Nettle's Guild (nettlesguild.coop) - Permaculture inspired courses, custom garden builds and perennial nursery.
