Neighborhood Impact: Affordable Housing, Healthcare, & Education Opportunit...
Event Information
Description
Everyone deserves access to equal opportunities for gainful employment, affordable and quality housing, a good education, affordable healthcare, and to be included in a healthy and vibrant community. Lack of access in these areas has created an environment where people of color are more likely to be negatively impacted by the criminal justice system. In recent years, the idea of social entrepreneurship has emerged as a link between wealth creation and social impact. This event will explore how social enterprise can be a bridge to community wealth creation as well as a catalyst to address the opportunity gap in underserved communities. The event will educate the community through a panel discussion, as well as provide the space to get feedback, through design thinking, on creating entrepreneurial models for wealth creation and social impact.
