The children of a Somali family read to Cara Steiner Kiggins, the executive director of COAR., (Community Outreach and Advocacy for Refugees), an Edson Student Entrepreneur non-profit venture through which students help people who have fled from violent conflict adapt to their new surroundings.
Social Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship has the power to create value. Sometimes that value is social value and not only dollars and cents.
Many of ASU programs including the Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative, Entrepreneurial Advantage Project and Pathways to Entrepreneurship Grants have been used to fund projects where the value created was of a social nature. If you have an interest in social issues, be sure to consider any of those programs as funding opportunities. Youth Re:Action Corps was one such venture.
