Students for Social Entrepreneurship is a student run organization that connects students to the field of social entrepreneurship. We do this through three distinct student offerings:
First: Education: Events and Socials. We bring in guest speakers, hold discussions, show films, and hold activities that engage people with Social Entrepreneurship and provide a foundational understanding of the field.
Second: Experience: On-Campus Internships. We connect outstanding students with high-profile social enterprises by providing On-Campus internships. Teams of 4-5 students work from campus with a partner social entrepreneur on projects they designate for a semester. Students earn course credit during this period and social entrepreneurs can make use of the human capital as they wish. It’s a win-win situation for both parties. In Fall 2009 we are working with the following organizations:
• Kiva,
• Teach For America
• Unitus
• CarrotMob
• Peery Foundation
• Tabitha
Third: Empowerment: Our Social Venture Start-up Group and External Opportunities.
