Course Description:
The second of a two-part pre-college Social Impact Intensive Program with ISII Founder and Executive Director, Elizabeth Ngonzi (a New York-based international social sector leader, educator and executive coach), this highly interactive course will introduce you to Social Entrepreneurship -- an emerging field that involves the development of new approaches and business models to address some of society's toughest challenges (such as, for example, environmental erosion, health and educational disparities, and animal welfare).· It is designed to enable you to:

  1. Learn about the unique role social enterprises play in the social impact sector
  2. Discover some of the visionaries who innovatively solve society's challenges through enterprises that "do good" in the world and "do well" financially
  3. Develop and deliver a social enterprise concept presentation based on a course-long case study
  4. Learn through a combination of case studies, personal coaching, self-paced study, recorded webinars, guest speakers and interactive exercises

In this course, you will:

  1. Learn how social enterprises are developed and run
  2. Begin developing the essential analytical, problem solving, and presentation skills needed by change makers and other professionals
  3. Gain an understanding of the business operations and management principles, and the funding sources, that are critical to the success of social enterprises
  4. Develop and present a social enterprise concept that will form part of your portfolio as you advance in your academic and professional career
  5. Meet and interact with other aspiring change makers (your classmates) and with world-class social entrepreneurs, as you begin to develop a network through which you can increase your impact
