Coffee cups are a resource, and a former inmate doesn’t have to be unemployed. Enactus shows that social entrepreneurship can bridge the gaps in our current economy by restoring value to things that are often overlooked. Learning to recognize these opportunities and turning them into real, working solutions is an incredible experience. People here discover just how much of a difference they can make. Enactus has redefined what leadership means to me.
Annually over 450 students join an Enactus team. An Enactus student evolves into an entrepreneurial and responsible leader through working on social issues and setting up social enterprises.
