Join Marcos Salazar, co-founder and Executive Director of Be Social Change on Monday, July 28th for Intro to Social Entrepreneurship: Opportunities, Challenges and Trends.

Social entrepreneurship is a rapidly evolving field that leverages entrepreneurship principles towards solving social and environmental problems. It represents a new lens through which individuals and organizations around the world are creating meaningful and sustainable change. The term itself has attracted an increasing amount of talent, resources, and attention, however, social entrepreneurship is at the beginning stages of its growth and is often misunderstood.
