A Unique Company: Overview

“The level of organization and structure behind this program is extensive. This program allows students to take what they have learned inside the classroom and apply and adapt it to this extremely unique, entrepreneurial experience. I truly believe that unlike many of the more “traditional” internship opportunities, it has the power to help students explore their passions, find out more about who they really are, and use their experiences in the program to design the path they choose to take next.”

Emily Grey, Former Assistant Director, Undergraduate Career Development,
Center for Career Education, Columbia University

Social Entrepreneur Corps was established by Ashoka Fellow Greg Van Kirk and George “Bucky” Glickley, the co- founders of Community Enterprise Solutions (CE Solutions) and innovators of the MicroConsignment Model. Greg and Bucky are former Guatemala Peace Corps Volunteers who have been working for the past eight years to create intelligent entrepreneurial and educational solutions for long-standing development challenges. Social Entrepreneur Corps provides university students, recent graduates and young professionals with the means to truly experience and participate in innovative development work.

Social Entrepreneur is a social enterprise whose mission is to design and implement innovative, practical, efficient and effective entrepreneurial and educational solutions with and for our constituents in rural, developing world communities.
Through our years of experience we have learned how to elegantly integrate students, recent graduates and young professionals into our development efforts in order to create greater grassroots impact. Through Social Entrepreneur Corps we have been able to create a unique situation in which all parties involved, interns, volunteers, travelers and locals alike, gain immeasurably from the experience. We have developed a methodology whereby all participants both add and derive tremendous value.
 
Social Entrepreneur Corps leadership brings a depth and breadth of experience that few organizations can match. Apart from our core work in Guatemala and now Ecuador, Social Entrepreneur Corps leadership has been contracted to consult for organizations such as USAID, Chemonics, Soros Foundation, Vision Spring, Fundacion Paraguaya, Church World Service, OneRoof, Agexpront, Fundacion Solar and Water for People amongst others. Greg and George’s consulting work has taken place in Guatemala, Ecuador, Paraguay, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Mexico,  Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Senegal and The Gambia.

If you are looking to work with and learn from a leadership team that is truly effectuating positive change, Social Entrepreneur Corps is the organization you have been looking for!

“Though in the end development work is for the benefit of the hosting country, I , personally, benefitted so very much for the experiences I had, the people I met, and the things I learned from these encounters.”

Katie S., University of Connecticut


"The team is comprised of hard-working, intelligent individuals who are successfully mixing their social goals with a very strong sense of hard work and dedication."
