Co-Designed Programs
"Language training, cultural discussions and homestays provide a great basis for starting work, while living and working out in the field shows you firsthand what ideas work and why." – Andy P., Olin College

Social Entrepreneur Corps is continually working with a growing number of university and student group partners with whom we can collaborate to create greater impact for both our developing world constituents and the students, recent graduates and young professionals who serve them through our programs.

If you represent a university, development organization, student group, corporation or the like and are interested in building a program designed to your needs we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to us so that we can begin a dialogue.

Some current examples of co-designed programs that took place in 2012 are as follows:

Miami University Net Impact: this three week program took place in May 2012 in the Dominican Republic and was co-designed and attended by the Net Impact student group at Miami University.

U21: this four week program took place during the summer of 2012 in Guatemala and was co-designed by Universitas 21 (U21). Students from universities throughout the world attended the program through the U21 network. Click here to read entries from the U21 Social Entrepreneur Corps blog.
