Teaching HS students social entrepreneurship

Summary

This project provides a nationally accredited Social Entrepreneurship course available online to 24,000 American high schools.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Traditional institutions don't adequately address rising social, health, economic, education, and environmental problems, but social entrepreneurs are. This accredited online course on Social Entrepreneurship, available to all 24,000 American high schools, will help teach the next generation real-world skills, knowledge and methods for solving these problems.

How will this project solve this problem?

An online, accredited course in Social Entrepreneurship will give high school students a way to solve social and environmental problems in their communities that they themselves identify, plan, initiate, and execute in measurable ways.

Potential Long Term Impact

Each student taking the course will be able to identify, plan, initiate, and execute a community-based project or internship with observable, measurable outcomes and report their results, perhaps even leading to career in the field.
