ENTRIES NOW OPEN FOR THE ASHOKA SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP CHALLENGE

Ashoka’s Youth Venture is pleased to partner with the University of Connecticut and its “Study of the U.S Institute” (SUSI Program 2015) to support the Student Leaders from North and Sub-Saharan Africa to be Social Entrepreneurs.

After 5 weeks of intense learning in the U.S. the African students are ready to launch their own social ventures to support the development of their communities. Youth Venture will assist SUSI participants in this process. The students already have identified social challenges that they want to address in their communities, they have strong passions and talents to be changemakers.

The challenge is open to all individuals, organizations, and partnerships, including non-profit, for-profit, and public organizations.

Entries may should be specific and well-planned, whether they are new ideas or established strategies with proven impact.

Entries must be submitted in English.
