La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Empathy alone will not change the world. Once an individual enacts empathy, it must be superseded by action. Jolkona U was created to convert empathy into action. We live in an era where we can strategically connect young people to global concerns. We can give empathy a name. We can give empathy a face. We can teach the younger generation that they do not have to wait to change the world - they can change the world today.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The solution? Jolkona U. Jolkona U is an official philanthropy club launching in schools in Washington state (and beyond). Jolkona U is designed to widen the scope of impact of the next generation of philanthropists by encouraging students to not just dream of changing the world someday, but to be empowered to make a difference in the world today. Jolkona U chapters encourage students to champion some of the most pressing global development issues today in education, environmental sustainability, public health, empowerment and arts/culture. Jolkona U clubs are not carbon copies planted from one school to the next, but each Jolkona U club is an individual representation of specific interests and passions of the involved students. One club may focus on global environmental issues, while the next may be more led to be involved in bettering worldwide public health.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
When a Jolkona U club is founded, students are encouraged to set tangible goals to effectively address global disparities through three mediums: student development, community engagement and economic impact. Jolkona U clubs have a unified constitution and code of conduct. However, each Jolkona U club will create individualized strategic plans, progress reports, budgets, leadership teams and campaigns and will be educated in volunteer management, social media strategy, event planning, storytelling tips and fundraising. Jolkona U members will take leadership of their own club, but will be overseen and mentored by Jolkona U staff.
Jolkona U members and leaders are likened to champions for global concerns. Champions fight for a cause and work as advocates for those who may not have a voice. A champion commits themselves to improving their community AND being part of the change. This can sometimes seem like a daunting task when a student is working alone, but Jolkona U shows students that they are not alone-that here are people all over the world just like them–who see injustices every day and want to make them right.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Jolkona U's peers include every other academically-recognized club on a university or school campus. Jolkona U's goal is to not compete with these other clubs, but rather to come along side other clubs and even potentially partner with other clubs by collective involvement in community projects and enacting a global impact together. Challenges of Jolkona U will always be the constant turn-over of students as they graduate. Our hope is to mentor young students in grade school and high school, who will continue to live empathy in action throughout college and their career.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The past year has been a year of research, writing and creating Jolkona U's handbook and the founding and implementation process of Jolkona U in order to create a strong, scalable foundation. In 2012, we are piloting Jolkona U in our home state of Washington at the university-level. In 2013, we will be expanding out of state and in 2014, we will birth high school chapters.
Jolkona U is unique in that a) We are a philanthropy club, led by nonprofit professionals, with the goal of educating and mentoring the younger generation to change the world in whatever stage of life they are in and b) Jolkona is a global nonprofit organization who works everyday in the realm of microcharity, global giving, community development and online giving. To date, we have not identified any other peer nonprofit working in the world of microcharity and in the world of academia simultaneously.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
Adnan Mahmud, a Program Manager at Microsoft, co-founded Jolkona with Nadia Eleza Khawaja after a trip to his birth country of Bangladesh. Witnessing the agony of a poor father who was burying his son and could not afford to bury his son in a dignified way, Mahmud realized the lasting power a small gift to this father would have made. Upon returning to the United States, Mahmud set up Jolkona as a way for his family and friends to give to the poor in developing countries. Mahmud was overwhelmed at the response and founded and launched Jolkona.
Jolkona U was a natural progression from Jolkona's mission and vision. With microgifts ranging from $5-$1500 and an active social media and online presence, Jolkona caters to the younger generation. Jolkona's mission, however, is not to just give money to the poor. Jolkona desires to cultivate and grow a new generation of philanthropists-and Jolkona U is the answer.
