COHORTS:
Dreamweaver Chiefs--represent our broader volunteer community of thought leaders specializing in a specific field of impact who guide peer/youth talent in creating more value through educational and professional growth opportunities. Dreamweaver Chiefs may also engage directly with YouthBoard teams that are actively engaged in an impact project.
Youth Board--represent student leaders from each campus who co-create and execute impact projects, be it charitable campaigns, or paid internships/working student placements at impact startups. The YouthBoard systematically engages with other youth leadership development organizations working in sustainability or with the SDGs.
Nominate yourself for either role by dropping us your application to join the YouthBoard, or emailing us to become a Dreamweaver Chief.
Our Journey
Lean think tanks like ours can play a powerful—occasionally even transformative—role in finding more contextual and applicable solutions that influence cross-sectoral impact, offering sponsors and donors impacts that extend far beyond those available through traditional agency or scaled models. From our early years of failures and successes, we recently distilled 5 KPIs that we hope can benefit other charitable impact-driven cohorts.

FOUNDER'S NOTE
TACTHUB was launched in a quaint little hotel, overlooking the delicate waterways in Strasbourg, France on Valentine's Day and my birthday. I modeled its potential value premises on my tri-sector leadership experience. Working for the profit, public and not-for-profit sectors over 13 years across 3 continents---does inform the mind and spirit in unique ways. Impact innovation is our way of catalyzing humanistic value
