Nodo Guanajuato is not just an organization; it's a living network. We empower local leaders, innovators, and citizens to solve systemic challenges together.
We are moving away from rigid hierarchies. Nodo is built on roles, not ranks. Meet the profiles that drive our ecosystem.
Future Leaders
Young professionals trained in public policy and project management. They are the boots on the ground, leading local chapters and executing projects.
Tech & Process
Developers, designers, and data scientists working in our Innovation Lab to digitize civic participation and create modern governance tools.
Partners
University deans, business leaders, and government officials who partner with Nodo to provide resources, mentorship, and scalability.
We realized that trying to solve 21st-century problems with 20th-century bureaucracy wasn't working. That is why we published our Strategic Vision 2025-2027: A roadmap to transform from a rigid franchise into an agile Civic Hub.
Our internal report identified that traditional models (Franchise, Federation) stifle innovation. We are adopting a "Hub" model designed for velocity.
Core Metric Goal
Speed of Execution
Legacy Model I
Centralized, top-down. Good for branding, bad for local innovation. "The McDonald's of NGOs."
Legacy Model II
Autonomous but disconnected. Slow consensus decisions. Political gridlock common.
Target State (2025+)
Agile network. Connects resources to talent. Enables local leaders to design contextual solutions.
The Hub Model represents the strategic shift for Nodo Guanajuato. Unlike franchises that dictate, the Hub facilitates. It is a platform that empowers local leaders ("Liberar Talento") to design solutions contextually, while providing the shared infrastructure (legal, financial, tech) needed to scale.
How we operationalize the vision into daily action.
The engine of the Hub is people. We move from "managing volunteers" to "developing civic leaders." This pillar focuses on upskilling local change-makers in project management, public policy, and digital literacy.
Launch of the "Civic Fellows" program
Mentoring 50 high-potential leaders annually.
85% Retention Rate
Drastically higher than the NGO industry average.
We believe in open books. Our transition to the Hub model includes a plan for financial autonomy, reducing reliance on one-off grants through diverse revenue streams.
Goal: Diversification for stability.
Focus on programmatic impact over admin costs.
Conservative vs. Target Trajectories
Whether you are a student, a professional, or a community leader, there is a place for you in the Hub.
