enFocus

enFocus is a nonprofit organization that empowers talent to transform communities in the South Bend-Elkhart region. We recruit recent graduates into a two-year Fellowship program and develop them into the next generation of community and business leaders. enFocus Fellows work alongside experienced mentors in the corporate, nonprofit, education and public sectors to discover, design, and implement innovative solutions to benefit the community. We partner with local organizations to provide value on sponsor projects, and we give Fellows the tools to launch entrepreneurial businesses or social ventures. To-date, enFocus has engaged over 900 young professionals to work on over 200 projects across Northern Indiana sponsor organizations. Nearly 70% of these individuals have stayed and call Indiana their home. Our Fellows have incubated more than 20 new businesses and created more than $85 million in economic impact through innovation projects. Together, we are solving complex problems, growing businesses, and changing the way communities innovate.
