From North Pole to South Pole: How 360Alumni helped empower alumni from SOI to create positive change in the world
The Students on Ice Foundation (SOI) is a non-profit organization that offers life-changing educational expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic regions for high school and university students. Since 2000, SOI has taken more than 3,000 students from over 50 countries to the polar regions, where they learn about the environment, culture, history and science of these fragile ecosystems. SOI’s mission is to create a global network of leaders who inspire and empower the next generation of youth to make a positive difference for the planet and ensure a sustainable future.
The Background
The foundation needed a robust and engaging platform that could connect all SOI alumni globally while providing resources and benefits to their constituents. However, despite many conversations around an alumni portal, they had not found the right software. Facebook was not a complete solution and the front and back end of Salesforce was limited. They needed something user-friendly and customizable. That’s when they found 360Alumni, the end-to-end solution that met all their needs.

It empowers our youth to make new friends, network with peers, mentor the next generation of leaders, and create positive change in the world."
