The Social Enterprise Academy is a multi-month program that helps
not-for-profit organizations diversify revenue sources and become more sustainable.
An Academy consists of a series of workshops, a venture competition and mentoring
during which the organizations develop and launch a ‘social enterprise’, or a business
that generates revenue as well as provides a social good.
Check out the highlights video from a recent Social Enterprise Showcase.
Watch social entrepreneurs pitch their business plans to our panel of judges.
