Info Session: Social Innovation Inventureships

Babson students are well-known for having a make-it-happen mindset. You want real-world experience in creating positive impact in their community and beyond.

But when it comes to getting an internship, all too often it seems the best opportunity available is to help manage social media for a nonprofit.

This is why we created the Inventureship program.

A Social Innovation Inventureship is a Babson paid or credit-bearing fellowship open to both undergraduate and graduate students.

Unlike a traditional internship, an Inventureship allows you to work at a strategic level with a sponsoring organization (or through their own venture) to develop a semester-long project that addresses a real and current social impact challenge. It's a powerful opportunity to build personal and professional skills while initiating meaningful change.

For example, Babson students have created an Inventureship to:

• Calculate the ROI of Greyston’s Open Hiring model
• Develop customer-value propositions in the context of the circular economy
• Quantify the financial, social, and environmental advantages of investing in organic farmland
• Launch the first-ever women’s hackathon in Vietnam
• Create a podcast series interviewing social innovators
• Develop an Arist text-message course introducing students to the UN Global Goals
• Develop a roadmap so organizations can achieve better outcomes for people leaving incarceration
