What comes to mind when you hear the term Social Entrepreneur? Think about it for a few more seconds and imagine what the world would look like if we all played our part in bringing about positive, sustainable change!
Social Entrepreneurs are persons with creative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. What this means, is that rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, Social Entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading entire societies to take new leaps. Scott McCoy and Drew Stelljes are Social Entrepreneurs-in-training who want to make a difference as well as make a living. In this video, they tell us what Social Entrepreneurship mean to them.
