Our engaging, interactive, project-based program teaches students about social entrepreneurship by having them build their own nonprofit! The five-day program includes:
Day 1: Identify a problem. Students will use a variety of idea generation strategies to come up with a specific, actionable problem that they are passionate about solving.
Day 2: Create a solution. Students will perform research, analyze real case studies of nonprofits, and use a variety of idea generation strategies to develop a creative and effective solution to their chosen problem.
Day 3: Set the timeline, goals, metrics, and budget. Students will collaborate to set ambitious but achievable goals for their organization using our templates for planning, measurement, and budgeting.
Day 4: Develop an organizing & fundraising strategy. Students will learn the principles of effective community organizing and fundraising as they create strategies for their own nonprofit.
Day 5: Pitch your strategic plan. Students will create a short presentation to pitch their nonprofit to potential donors. And, they'll compete in the session Pitch Competition!
