Engage in Hands-On Social Entrepreneurship

Social Entrepreneur Corps leads innovative and dynamic impact immersion programs in Latin America. As the sister organization to the award-winning Community Enterprise Solutions, you will work alongside social entrepreneurs and local partners as a consultant supporting the creation, growth and impact of social innovations focused on intelligently alleviating poverty. Together we create sustainable impact in the field. You learn the strategies and tactics that are key to social entrepreneurial success through doing. It is our goal that you then take these lessons learned and apply them to your studies, your career (whatever you might choose to do), and your life.
