Leadership Development
We can best multiply our impact through the people we develop.
Access Ventures partners with visionary individuals to find the best path to progress.
Since our inception in 2014, we have been raising up transformational leaders who challenge the status quo.
Our fundamental belief is that at the heart of any transformative change in a community, company, market or movement is people.
Through our leadership development programs, we find individuals working to make the world better in bold and meaningful ways—and then help them become impactful leaders by connecting them with the tools, resources, and community they need to bring their vision to life.
These individuals may be just beginning their vocational journey through our AV Fellowship, seasoned executives navigating a pivotal life and leadership moment through our Executive Fellowship, or emerging leaders in the UK discerning their call and character through Peregrine Ventures — a deeply immersive formation experience designed to cultivate vision, integrity, and courage in the next generation.
Because people are our greatest resource and highest hope for the future, we are eager to identify, support, guide, and walk alongside leaders with a vision for this world that leads to the greatest good.
AV Fellowship
AV supports bold leaders who see possibility in the face of community challenges. Together, we endeavor to build solutions that support human flourishing because vulnerable people everywhere, face systemic opposition. The economy represents not just an engine for industry, but an opportunity to demonstrate the inalienable dignity of all people. Therefore, it’s not okay to simply build a functioning economy – we must build a more accessible economy in which everyone can thrive.
This Fellowship is designed for young leaders between the ages of 22-30 who have an idea worth exploring further that will positively impact our world and their community.
Executive Fellowship
In a world that prizes acceleration, output, and visibility, the Access Ventures Executive Fellowship offers a deeply countercultural invitation: to slow down, reflect deeply, and be formed from the inside out. Designed for entrepreneurial leaders (ages 35–50) at a meaningful life inflection point, this two-year journey guides Fellows from personal striving to generative stewardship – from external success to inner significance.
This is not a leadership accelerator. It is a master’s-level experience in spiritual maturity, vocational clarity, emotional integration, and civic imagination. The Fellowship is designed for those who have achieved much, yet now long for alignment – between who they are, what they value, and how they lead.
At its heart lies a bold proposition: the world doesn’t need more impressive leaders. It needs more whole ones.
This Fellowship is for accomplished yet restless leaders—men and women between the ages of 35-50 who are ready to ask deeper questions about identity, purpose, and integrity. It’s designed for those courageous enough to engage their story and committed to aligning their vocation with spiritual depth, justice, and joy. Over the course of two years, participants journey together through five immersive gatherings, personal formation work, and embodied practices that foster lasting, whole-person transformation.
Peregrine Ventures
Peregrine exists to form leaders of conscience and clarity — those who seek not only to do good, but to become good; not only to lead effectively, but to love wisely.
In the spirit of Augustine’s moral vision, we believe that the ethical life begins not in strategy, but in the heart — in rightly ordered love.
At the core of our work is this conviction:
Leadership is ethical when it flows from what we love — and what we love must be ordered toward what is true, good, and enduring.
Executive Leadership Development | Oxford, UK
Co-created with Access Ventures, the program blends Oxford-style tutorials with immersive cohort learning, site-based reflection, and academic engagement.
Access Ventures played a founding role in developing the Peregrine experience and continues to support the Peregrine Scholars Fund—a reinvestment initiative advancing emerging academic voices in leadership and ethics.
“Access Ventures believes far and away that people are the greatest variable for success; the people on their team, the people they invest in, the people they partner with. They bet BIG on people while other organizations miss out on the single greatest catalyst for transformative change. I saw first-hand the transformative power of when good people with good ideas are given the opportunity to flourish.”
