Root Impact was founded in 2012 as a nonprofit focused on building capacity for the social innovation sector. In 2017, Root Impact successfully opened HeyGround, a co-working space for more than 500 change-makers in Seoul, South Korea. Now, they’re planning to expand their operations to an underserved neighborhood of NYC such as the South Bronx.
They envision a world where everyone can make a real change. Root Impact helps young social entrepreneurs and change-makers who endeavor to bring positive changes to the world by building an impact ecosystem and a change-maker friendly environment including a co-living house, co-working spaces, and learning opportunities. This ecosystem helps change-makers further their missions, solve pressing issues, and sustain their growth.
