Be Social Change
Be Social Change is a community of passionate people transforming ideas into action. We believe that to solve the world’s toughest problems, we need to increase the number of problem-solvers in the world. To accomplish this, we equip people with the knowledge, skills, and community of support to create meaningful change through:
-
Entrepreneurship Education via The Makers Institute, our in-person and online learning platform that equips people with the entrepreneurial skills to create the next generation of socially-conscious small businesses, scalable non-profits, and impact-driven careers
-
Idea-Exchange and Sharing of Best Practices via cross-sector panel events, pitch sessions, and conferences
-
Community-Building via monthly Meetups that bring together people from diverse backgrounds and professions for networking, idea-sharing, and collaboration
-
Resource-Sharing Tools that share opportunities to create impact such as our weekly Social Good Events Guide
Our vision is create a future where every entrepreneur a social entrepreneur, every business a socially-conscious business, and every career is an impact-driven career.
Join us to make that future together.
