About SocialPreneur Lab

The SocialPreneur Lab is a comprehensive program that has combined student fundraising and community service into an applied learning of social entrepreneurship for youth. Similar to little league sports or music recitals, the organization aims to build students’ business acumen and entrepreneurial acuity through practice and experience.

In the lab, students are given the opportunity to work through the entire business development process—from business planning, marketing, raising capital, application, generating revenue, and scaling—to launch one of our social enterprise toolkits, including agribusiness, upcycling, and microfinance.

The crowdfunding platform and e-commerce site, exclusive to our SocialPreneurs, also gives students the opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship through doing! The curriculum introduces concepts of social entrepreneurship and the ways that business can be used to solve problems that affect our community. Youth will learn examples of today’s social entrepreneurs who are changing our society.  Design thinking activities will guide them to social innovate to truly meet their consumers needs. This activity will exercise participant’s empathy, emotional intelligence, and thinking outside-of- the-box to find creative business solutions that fulfill unmet social needs.
