The Unofficial Student Guide to Social Entrepreneurship at Harvard and Beyond

Social Entrepreneurship is one of the most innovative and effective approaches to solving social problems in the 21st century. Social entrepreneurs work in every corner of the globe to create and implement solutions for what were once thought to be unsolvable social problems. This guide was written by students, for students. It discusses what Social Entrepreneurship is, what Social Entrepreneurs do, and how you can get involved. And it comes complete with courses, resources (and, yes, sources). There are varying viewpoints on what the phrases “social entrepreneurship,” “social entrepreneur,” and “social enterprise” mean. We cannot provide an exhaustive or definitive answer here. Instead, this guide offers a practical handbook for students looking to jump start a career in this exciting new field. Enjoy!
