“Changing worldview toward believing that you as an individual hold the power of possibility is much more important” ~ Sara Anjargolian
Sara and her founding team observed that immense talent exists in Armenia with many brilliant projects in operation. However, these organizations were operating totally independently. Sara and her team wanted to foster collaboration and create a space where ideas could come to fruition and grow. When they learned about the impact hub concept, it seemed like the perfect way to pull together everyone under one roof. Today, Impact Hub is an inspiring work space and a business incubator with a mission to support social impact projects and enterprises. Through Impact Hub Yerevan, Sara focuses on empowering Armenia’s change makers and innovators to grow their social impact projects from idea to implementation to impact.
As a multimedia journalist, Sara’s work illuminates critical sociopolitical issues. Her work, which may be viewed at http://www.SaraAnjargolian.com, has been recognized and supported by the United Nations, Soros/Open Society Foundations, Fulbright, UCLA School of Art & Architecture (Make Art / Stop AIDS), Photophilanthropy, Fotoevidence, the Tufenkian Foundation, and the Yerevan Press Association.
