Five & Rising, bold acts to unleash the social sector.

Social Current is currently accepting applications for the second Five & Rising community cohort and, based on feedback received and with the holidays approaching, has extended the application deadline to Jan. 16, 2026.

Building on the foundation of the first cohort, this group will continue to advance the work and expand the movement by:

  • Reframing the narrative
  • Strengthening leadership and building capacity
  • Collaborating across sectors
  • Building local models

To be considered for the upcoming Five & Rising cohort, complete this initial application by Jan. 16, 2026. All applications will be screened, and top prospects will be notified of next steps in February 2026.
