What People are Saying

I think the Mycelium School has a unique offering; a non traditional education coupled with a goal of creating a viable social enterprise when you’re done. It meets a clear niche for a growing number of young people who want to learn and make a difference and don’t want to be stuck in an old way of thinking and acting.
Kevin Jones, Co-Founder of SoCap, HUB San Fransisco & HUB Berkley
As an emerging leader, I have an insatiable appetite for learning. I constantly seek to expand my network of do-gooders. At Mycelium, I have had the opportunity to engage in inspirational exchange which has led to meaningful connections with like minded young leaders. I look forward to using the Mycelium program as a valuable tool for my ethical fashion startup that offers resources and skills that transfer into my daily global education practice.

When I heard about The Mycelium School for the first time, I realized this was the program I have been looking for. An amazing learning experience that provides the right framework for individuals to grow and become leaders of the 21st century.
Ines Silva, Founder of Startup Pirates, Sandbox Network Community Manager
The time spent at Mycelium will not only help young people from different parts of the globe to be equipped with the skills required to develop their personal and social visions but also help them embark on an intensive journey of inner transformation which will lead to a larger social impact.
Nibedita Kamal Parajuli, Prospective Participant
More than ever, our society faces an urgent need to develop leaders that dare to dream the impossible and tackle the world’s biggest problems. This requires nurturing and supporting leaders in all aspects of their development. The Mycelium School understands this need and is courageously creating a holistic learning program designed to support tomorrow’s leaders.
Spud Marshall, Co-Founder of New Leaf Initiative
I feel that traditional business schools lack necessary evaluative tools that account fully and holistically for long-term human and environmental consequences. The Mycelium school will fill that gap by breeding a new generation of entrepreneurs equipped with a systemic approach to determining actual human and market value. As a future graduate of the Mycelium School, I see myself coming away with the ability to spot short-sighted business initiatives before they reach the marketplace – and take center stage with bold solutions to some of the world’s most complex issues.
