Ignite the Spark: Empowering Leaders, Transforming Communities

Ignite the Spark is a collaborative initiative by The Okeano Healing Collective (Okeano) and Non-Profit Innovation Group (NPIG), designed to empower social change leaders and organizations from underrepresented backgrounds with the tools to create lasting impact. This program offers a scholarship opportunity, giving eligible participants access to expert guidance, transformative leadership development, and coaching—at little to no cost. Addressing Key Challenges Communities face systemic barriers, including:

Disconnected Cultural Practices: Systems that erode cultural roots and sustain inequities.

Leadership Development Gaps: A lack of human-centered training for emerging leaders.

Limited Sustainability Solutions: Few community resources exist to build self-sufficient systems. Ignite the Spark empowers leaders to overcome these barriers and reshape thriving, equitable communities.

Nonprofit Start-Up Support: Guidance to launch and structure impactful organizations.

Capacity Building (H.E.A.L. Academy): Strategies to grow sustainably and serve communities effectively.

Transformative Coaching & Mentorship: Holistic leadership development for personal and professional growth.

Why It’s Unique By combining Okeano’s expertise in holistic healing and NPIG’s leadership and nonprofit innovation, Ignite the Spark creates a one-of-a-kind ecosystem for sustainable empowerment and healing.
