Program Context

The Human Connector Incubator (HCI) is a structured programme for underrepresented community builders who have an idea to bring people together but lack the infrastructure to make it real. Over 8 months, you get a legal home, facilitation training, peer support, and access to funding. You leave with a running project and a network of people who get what you're building. Because real change happens when the right people are finally given the right support.

Insider Tips

We value people over polished pitches. Tell us about your connection to the community you want to serve and why you're the right person to do it.
our idea doesn't need to be fully formed. We're looking for clarity on the problem, not a finished solution.
Show up to one of our events before applying. It helps you understand if HCI is the right fit - and we get to know you too.
