What is Social Entrepreneurship 101?
Social Entrepreneurship 101: Africa, a partnership between the Sauder School of Business and YouLead International Service Learning, teaches African youth how to write business plans and transform their entrepreneurial ideas into reality.
Consisting of a team of nine UBC students and the Johannesburg-based Ubuntu Institute, the program will deliver a series of workshops, one-on-one mentoring, and guest speakers to help impoverished youth to develop a strong foundation of skills necessary to start successful businesses. The program will run in rural South Africa and Swaziland during the month of August 2007.
